World Health Organization Archives

Description

A WHO poster commemorating the eradication of smallpox, stored in the archives.

The World Health Organization retains their own records and archives, with the intent of managing and preserving the current and semi-active records and historical archives of the WHO. These semi-actives records are jointly managed by the Records and Archives unit, with regional offices also keeping track of their work. Also included in the archives are old advertisements and notifications of epidemics and diseases, such as the one shown of dracunculiasis. The WHO archives also feature different exhibitions and presentations of documents, such as "Picturing Health: 35 years of photojournalism at WHO", photograph galleries, and documents of the months.
