# UK Memory of the World Register

The UK Memory of the World Register is part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme.
The UK register recognises documentary heritage of outstanding national importance. Any documentary heritage can be nominated in a biennial application process. The applications are assessed by a panel of experts in the care and use of documentary heritage and successful nominations are ‘inscribed’ onto the register. This recognition by UNESCO helps to raise the profile of the individual subscriptions which in turn can lead to additional funding, public recognition and use. The programme generally raises awareness of the importance of caring for and providing access to documentary heritage.
