Inputs are sought from all former UN staff and their spouses (whether members of BAFUNCS or not), with a view to strengthening this unique record of the contribution of British citizens and others to the UN. These may be in the form of completing the UNCRP Questionnaire; a curriculum vitae; and/or of unpublished memoirs, manuscripts, letters or articles in any style, format or length. Photographs are welcome. Oral interviews can be recorded by prior arrangement with the Project.
Written inputs should if possible be submitted electronically, but hard copy material is also welcome. The experiences of spouses, of administrative as well as specialist staff, headquarters as well as field, are all equally appreciated.
Contributors may stipulate that their papers be embargoed on the grounds of confidentiality for whatever period they wish. They and their descendants retain ownership and copyright of all material conserved.
All those interested and able to contribute in the above are invited to be in touch with the UNCRP Coordinator, Michael Askwith (askwith_michael@yahoo.co.uk) who will send you, if necessary, a hard copy of the UNCRP questionnaire, together with Guidelines for contributions and Notes on the completion of the questionnaire. Alternatively you can download an interactive e-version of these documents here.
