Memory of the World Programme
UNESCO's
Memory of the World (MoW) Programme is an international initiative launched to safeguard the
documentary heritage of humanity against
collective amnesia, neglect, decay over time and climatic conditions, as well as deliberate destruction. It calls for the
preservation of valuable
archival holdings, library collections, and private individual compendia all over the world for posterity, the reconstitution of dispersed or displaced documentary heritage, and increased accessibility to, and dissemination of, these items.
