United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)

International Organisations

UNESCO was founded in 1945 as a specialised agency of the UN.  Besides working at a practical level it also played an important role in the international political arena. It gave material and political support to the liberation movements. It organised numerous conferences to highlight the situation in South Africa.

The organisation holds its own archives, including an audiovisual collection.
