Talk:Memory of the World Programme

June 2007 listings
Last week they added 38 items to the register. I added 2 of these to this list article, and created Category:Memory of the World Register. That's all I have time for right now, anyone else is welcome to finish adding the new listings to this article. &mdash; Eoghanacht  talk  15:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Amerindian Language Collection
I translated from the Spanish Wikipedia the new "Memory of the World" that Mexico has recieved in 2007, la Colección de Lenguas Indígenas, but I don´t know if it´s the official name in English. I´m not very fluent in English so I don´t know if it´s a good translation eather. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.59.7.83 (talk) 15:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Which "regional and national registers"?
The article tells us:


 * In response to the worldwide scale of the Register, some countries or groups of countries have also established national (i.e. national registers) and regional counterparts, resulting in a three-tiered Register that has been supported by the Memory of the World Programme. This allows for the better administration of documentary items.

This cites a source that's so old that I didn't bother looking at it. (No, I'm not objecting, I'm just saying.)

Which nations and which regions? I googled, but couldn't find a list anywhere. I do know that Australia and Britain have registers; here's the website of the former; here is the en:WP article on the latter. Nowhere else? -- Hoary (talk) 14:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I'll try to add in a little more information--it is possible to pull such information out of internet sources--but it is also rather confusing. This change (the establishment of national and regional organizations), however, seems to be official MOW policy, not spontaneous response. It is also not aimed at "better administration"--that was never part of the purpose of this organization--but rather these different levels recognize documentary sources which are important to national and regional histories, but not necessarily the world. Yamamoto 2016 (a published article now available on the internet freely) helps with this and other points. I'll add both the reference (https://www.academia.edu/32367448/Yamamoto_Document_Registry_2017) and a little info, but more information could be pulled from that article.

Memory of the world program background
it seems that only two proposals per country are considered in each cycle could we use more decisive language? are there sources that prove this so we could remove the seems? Kandersen102697 (talk) 21:52, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

I removed "seems" and revised the whole paragraph. Unknown User, 13 January 2022 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.152.187.162 (talk) 11:39, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
