In the Media

The Digitizing our shared UNESCO history project aims to contribute to UNESCO's visibility online and throughout the world by making more UNESCO Archives content available using technology that supports changing modes of information and resource delivery. UNESCO communication platforms, including UNESCO's official social media channels, will be used to encourage public engagement in the project and the sharing of archival resources and knowledge. 

 

Publications

The UNESCO Archives has, via the digitization project, contributed content to the following publications:

 

They Did Not Stop at Eboli: UNESCO and the Campaign against Illiteracy in a Reportage by David “Chim” Seymour and Texts by Carlo Levi (1950), G. Hendel, C. Naggar, K. Priem (eds.), UNESCO-De Gruyter, 2019.
ISBN: 978-3-11-065163-8; e-ISBN (PDF) 978-3-11-065559-9; e-ISBN (EPUB) 978-3-11-065175-1; UNESCO ISBN 978-92-3-000084-4

Digitized album of contact sheets and accompanying text by renowned photographer David “Chim” Seymour, co-founder of Magnum Photos, on the campaign against illiteracy in Southern Italy in 1950. This publication reproduces in full the digitized album, re-discovered, after seventy years, thanks to the preparatory analyses of UNESCO Archives’ audio/visual collections in view of the Digitization Project. The album is presented in the publication by four contextualizing essays.

Further to its digitization, the "Seymour album" became the focus of research by specialists, ensuing in the UNESCO-De Gruyter publication They Did Not Stop at Eboli: UNESCO and the Campaign against Illiteracy in a Reportage by David "Chim" Seymour and Texts by Carlo Levi (1950)
