# Memory of the World Register – International Organizations

The first inscriptions on the UNESCO Memory of the World International Register were made in 1997. By creating a compendium of the world's documentary heritage – manuscripts, oral traditions, audio-visual materials, library and archive holdings – the program aims to use its networks of experts to exchange information and raise resources for the preservation, digitization, and dissemination of documentary materials. As of 2023, 494 piece of documentary heritage have been included in the register. Of these, seven properties were nominated by international organizations.
