Welcome to the UN Archives
In the United Nations Archives we acquire, preserve, and make available for public consultation, records created or received by the United Nations (UN) in the course of business. Archives serve as institutional memory and provide evidence of the past. They promote accountability and ensure the organization's actions and decisions are transparent. Knowledge of the past creates a better future!
We offer several resources on the web:
-
Access to digital reference collections of archival records through our Search Engine
-
List of Finding Aids and Research Guides
-
Registration to use our public Research Room
-
Links to related External Resources
We also provide advisory services, which include:
-
Advice on research projects provided by our reference archivists
-
Assistance with access and declassification requests for certain records
