Part of the archives

A new window is finally opened for researchers and Universities to understand the potential of FAO Archives and access a piece of History full of interesting tips...

The FAO Historical Archives preserve non-current records of Headquarters, Regional Offices and FAO Representations, and reflect the organization’s development and administrative history, its policies and major working programs and methods.

The organization's acts, proceedings, and agreements of significant legal, administrative or financial value are also preserved in the Archives, as well as records of several predecessor bodies of FAO (e.g. the International Institute of Agriculture, IIA or the Centre International de Sylviculture, CIS), Organizations or UN Agencies, whose functions or assets have been transferred to FAO.
