Welcome to the UN Reference Library
UN Reference Library is housed on the first floor of the UN Office in Armenia. It was opened in 1995 by the UN Department of Public Information (UN DPI). The UN resident agencies took an active part in developing of this important information component.
In 2009 the main stock of UN Reference Library was donated to UN Depository Libraries of the National Library of Armenia (Teryan 72, III floor) and the Yerevan State University Library (Alek Manoukyan 1, VIII floor). The downsized library now has only main information about the United Nations in general and the UN Country Team in particular.
Among the current stock of UN Armenia Reference Library there is:
- The DVD collection with annotations
- The audio collection of UN Radio programs
- The photo archive (both digital and hard copies) dating back to 1993. It comprises of chronological history of all UN agencies working and/or having worked in Armenia. It also documents the visits of high-ranking UN Officials to Armenia and to UN Armenia Office. Armenia’s participation to the United Nations is also reflected in this archive.
The UN Department of Public Information Reference library still serves as a quick reference for all UN staff members in their daily activities. UN DPI through this Library regularly disseminates UN materials to local authorities, civil society organizations , libraries and educational institutions of various cities, towns and communities of the Republic of Armenia. For this purpose a network of "Friends of the United Nations" has been established which includes schools, higher educational institutions, NGOs, libraries, other civil society groups. Those included in this network receive not only hard copies of UN publications but also electronic news and information via e-mail.
