United Nations Documents
About the collection
The United Nations documents collection at the University of Georgia Libraries includes documents published after 1973. The United Nations documents collection also includes documents published before that date if they are part of a continuing series, such as the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.
The United Nations documents are shelved using the UN Series Symbol. The prefix UN is added to this symbol to complete the call number used in this collection.
The United Nations documents collection contains the publications of the five principal organs of the UN:
- General Assembly
- Economic and Social Council
- Security Council
- Secretariat
- Trusteeship Council
