The archival group is very comprehensive and nearly complete for the years 1946 to 1971. This part is listed by the inventory "Bibliography of publications issued by UNESCO under its auspices for the first twenty-five years: 1946 to 1971".
Afterwards the diversity of methods of publication that are involved in carrying out the programme of UNESCO makes it difficult to identify and collect all publications in which UNESCO has taken any part. Publications of this period may also be kept in the library only.

As indicated by the Administrative Manual, the UNESCO Archives is the legal depot for UNESCO publications. Creating units are therefore responsible for the direct transfer of one exemplar of all publications to the archives. Publications issued with the assistance of UNESCO are transferred as per the terms of the agreement for their creation.

The Archive Group consists of publications produced or funded by the UNESCO Secretariat from the foundation of UNESCO in 1946 until now. The Archival Group is arranged into three collections:

• Works published directly by UNESCO under its own imprint (complete until December 1971, afterwards some publications might be missing);
• Works published through financial or other forms of assistance from UNESCO;
• Works issued by National Commissions under agreement with the UNESCO Secretariat (for the most part these are translations of publications issued by UNESCO).

The Archive Group does not contain publications relating to UNESCO and its activities written independently of the Organization. This also applies to any publications of National Commissions which are not translations or adaptations of UNESCO publications and were not issued under contract.

Continuous accruals.
