Abstract

United Nations celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2020. Since 1947 the UN Depository Library Programme has arranged for the distribution of United Nations documents and publications for users. This is a worldwide network in which the Dag Hammarskjöld Library (DAG) is now providing UN documents online, thanks to its large-scale digitization programme. In the article, DAG’s activities, the depository programme, and the UN Digital Library’s features are described in detail.
