UK Memory of the World Register

The UK Memory of the World Register, on which work started in 2009 and whose first inscriptions were made in 2010, is a list of individual documents and documentary collections of particular importance to the United Kingdom; it is the national complement to UNESCO's international Memory of the World programme.[1]

Organisations are invited to nominate archived material for inclusion. Listing may bring increased recognition both within the nation and elsewhere.[2]
