The UNESCO Archives Portal gives access to websites of archival institutions around the world. It is also a gateway to resources related to records and archives management and to international co-operation in this area.

With the Archives Portal, UNESCO provides a single interactive access point to information for archivists and users of archives worldwide.

Visitors to the UNESCO Archives Portal can browse through pre-established categories or search for specific words. They can add a new link or modify an already existing link. An electronic Newsletter provides information on new entries. The "In Focus" section presents websites of archives which are particularly interesting.

Webmasters of archive websites listed in the UNESCO Archives Portal are invited to post the UNESCO Archives Portal logo on their website for promoting this resource.
