The Archives

UNICEF Records Centre in Secaucus, New Jersey

What are the Archives
UNICEF Archives span 60 years and provide a rich resource for the study of the UN community's efforts on behalf of the world's children since World War II. While UNICEF is responsible for managing UNICEF Archives, they are a subset of the United Nations Archives that includes the archives of all UN subsidiary organizations.

While most of the UNICEF collection comprises paper files, it also includes photographs, posters, stamps, gifts and other memorabilia as well as microfilm. Each year people conduct research in the UNICEF Archives for a variety of reasons. They include academics,  historians, journalists, biographers, students and international civil servants.

Where are the Archives
UNICEF archives are held in three main areas:

	3,000 boxes at United Nations Archives and Records Centre in Long Island City of long-term value
	10,000 boxes at UNICEF Records Centre in Secaucus, New Jersey of short-term value intended to be appraised and possibly destroyed at timed-intervals
	300 boxes at UNICEF House of on-going value that are more frequently requested.
