UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme seeks to encourage the preservation of, access to, and awareness of, the world’s documentary heritage. An important part of the Programme is its Registers, which recognise documentary heritage of outstanding significance.
Nominations are now being invited for the UK Memory of the World Register in 2018. Any organisation or individual may make a submission for any form of documentary heritage for which they are responsible. The key criterion is that the heritage is of outstanding significance to the UK.
