Spanning almost 106 years, the United Nations Archives constitutes a vast and rich resource for the study of the history of the United Nations and international peacekeeping.

The Archives and Records Management Section (ARMS) is responsible for all aspects of UN record-keeping, ranging from measures to ensure that United Nations officials create records in the course of their duties, through the management of records in United Nations offices, to preserving and making records of continuing value accessible as United Nations archives.
