Programa Memória do Mundo da UNESCO está com chamadas abertas para apoio financeiro

The UNESCO Memory of the World Initiative to Safeguard Documentary Heritage at Risk aims to protect the world's documentary items and collections at risk of loss as a result of natural or human-induced threats by granting financial support to cover specific needs on the ground.

At a time of increasing environmental issues caused by climate change and escalating conflicts, documents of universal value are not exempt from being permanently damaged or destroyed. Documentary heritage items at risk include many forms of paper-based and audiovisual materials, yet physical collections and digital repositories are also vulnerable to rising global challenges.

In this context, the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme provides financial support for projects of national, regional, or international scope that address specific needs for safeguarding all forms of endangered documentary heritage and ensuring its accessibility, including in a post-crisis scenario.
