Memory of the World Register – Asia and the Pacific

The first inscriptions on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register were made in 1997.^[1][2] By creating a compendium of the world’s documentary heritage, including manuscripts, oral traditions, audio-visual materials, library and archive holdings,^[3] the program aims to promote the exchange of information among experts and raise resources for the preservation, digitization, and dissemination of documentary materials.^[4] As of December 2018, 429 main documentary heritages had been inscribed in the Register, with 116 of these from Asia and the Pacific.^[5]

The Memory of the World Committee for Asia and the Pacific, known as MOWCAP, is a regional committee of UNESCO's global programme.^[6]

Items listed below are part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Registry, but not a regional list created by MOWCAP, nor made up of national lists, although such lists have been envisioned.^[7]
