The International Register of the UNESCO Memory of the World-Programme includes inscriptions from Europe and North America.[7] As of December 2018, the region has 274 (or 52%) inscriptions of the 432 total inscriptions included in the Register.[8]

The first inscriptions on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register were made in 1997.[9] By creating a compendium of the world's documentary heritage – such as manuscripts, oral traditions, audio-visual materials, and library and archive holdings[10] – the program aims to tap on its networks of experts to exchange information and raise resources for the preservation, digitization, and dissemination of documentary materials.[11] Among the various properties in the Register include recordings of folk music; ancient languages and phonetics; aged remnants of religious and secular manuscripts; collective lifetime works of renowned giants of literature; science and music; copies of landmark motion pictures and short films; and accounts documenting changes in the world's political, economic, and social stage.
