Calls for New Nominations for Memory of the World International Register

8th Meeting of the \
Memory of the World
International Advisory Committee (IAC),
Pretoria, South Africa, 11-15 June 2007

UNESCO is inviting new nomination proposals for inscription on its Memory of the World International Register, a list of library collections and archive holdings of world significance, which was established in 1997 to promote documentary heritage of universal value.
Nominations should ideally be submitted through the National Commission for UNESCO or the Memory of the World National Committee in the country where it is located. Proposals should be based on the selection criteria listed in the General Guidelines to Safeguard Documentary Heritage, which stipulates that the most important criterion for inscription on the register is the universal significance of the documentary heritage.

The deadline for the submission of nominations is 31 March 2008 and no late submissions will be accepted.

Check out the Memory of the World Program website.

Only two contributions from the United States have been added to the MoW Regster:

• Universalis cosmographia secundum Ptholomaei traditionem et Americi Vespucii aliorumque Lustrationes
• The Wizard of Oz (Victor Fleming 1939), produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (2007)
