Access to Thousands of Archives Through UNESCO Archives Portal
07-03-2005 (Paris)
More than 7,500 websites of archives and archival resources all over the world can be accessed through the new version of the “UNESCO Archives Portal”, a directory of websites related to archives and records management, that was launched last week.
The Directory, which receives more than 7,000 visits a month, lists since five years websites of archives of the public and the private sector, including universities and research institutions and websites of resources related to archives and records management. It also provides a News service.
All content can be accessed by regions and countries. Visitors to the UNESCO Archives Portal can also browse through pre-established categories or search for specific words. They can add a new link or modify an already existing link. The "In Focus" section presents websites of archives which are particularly interesting.
Together with the Libraries Portal, the Free Software Portal and the Observatory of the Information Society, the UNESCO Archives Portal is one of the clearing house services of WebWorld, the website of UNESCO’s Communication and information Sector and part of the UNESCO Knowledge Portal.
