The Memory of the World International Register, listing documentary heritage of global importance, includes ten works from Brazil. The Emperor's collection was the first recorded work to be included in the list in 2003, a heritage with 23,000 photographs of Brazil and the world from the 19th century, which had been donated by D. Pedro II and integrates the Thereza Christina Maria Collection. The Brazilian National Library is one of the members of the Brazilian Committee program and, as such, participates in the co-ordination of the action plans developed in Brazil.
UNESCO established the Memory of the World Programme in 1992.
The Brazilian National Committee of UNESCO also maintains a Brazil Memory of the World Register, listing documentary heritage of great national importance.
