UNESCO's rich collection of silver-based photographs bears witness to the Organisation's many uses of still images. Covering 50 years of activity, from 1947 to the early 2000s, these negatives, prints and slides were mainly used for illustrative purposes in the Courier and were taken by both UNESCO staff and photographers from all around the world.
Please note that some of the captions provided with the images are the original captions: as such, there may be inaccuracies or names that are no longer in use.
