We are pleased to inform you that Supplement no. 3 (2021-2025) to the Guide for Researchers to the UN Career Records Project (UNCRP) is now available and posted on the website . This was completed by Bill Jackson as his final contribution to UNCRP and, as usual, he has done an excellent job.
UNCRP Supplement no. 3 (2021-2025)
This third Supplement to the Guide updates the summaries of careers and contributions to the UNCRP. The material is intended to be of use to researchers interested in international cooperation and global governance. It contains additional information related to existing entries in the Guide and Supplements 1 and 2; new material received from contributors since the original Guide and Supplements were published; and an Index of Keywords contained in this Supplement.
New contributors covering many different aspects of the work of the United |Nations System include Nicola Dahrendorf, Phyllis Camilla Ruegg, Margaret Branch, Alan Everest, Caroline Jones, Omar Noman, Colin Fraser, and Patricia Joan Marlowe. There are also additional contributions from, amongst others, Peter Marshall, Richard Jolly, Terence Jones, Bill Jackson, and Patrice-Ariel Français.
Terry and I would be delighted to provide support to anyone considering adding further materials to the steadily growing archive. Any material can be considered if not already formally published, either in hard copy or electronic form. It is also important to know that you can place a time embargo of your choosing on material which you may regard as sensitive. We can also arrange to record interviews if this is your preferred medium.
Regarding digital material, while it is being preserved, the systems are not in place to make it available securely through terminals in the reading rooms. However, there has been important progress recently with the Bodleian Library authorised to acquire a Digital Asset Management System (DAMS), which will provide access to digital material that cannot be made openly available online, through a controlled access, “virtual reading room” environment. Procurement is expected in 2026 and the first phase of cataloguing the backlog of digital material expected to start in 2027.
