At the 216th session of the UNESCO Executive Board, a decision was made to expand the Memory of the World International Register.

Two documents from Uzbekistan were included in it: “Archival collection of the Qushbegi Chancellery of the Bukhara Emirate (the Central State Archive of Uzbekistan) and Mawlana’s Kulliyat (the Complete Works of Mawlana, the Al- Biruni Institute of Oriental Studies, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan).

The UNESCO Memory of the World Programme was established in 1992 to preserve documentary heritage and to promote public awareness of valuable archival and library document collections. This has been reported by the Art and Culture Development Foundation under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
