Unesco's World Digital Library becomes accessible for free to all

UNESCO has allowed free access to its World Digital Library. This is the World Digital Library, which brings together thousands of historical documents, including books, manuscripts, maps, journals, newspapers, photographs, films, and audio.

A library encompassing 193 countries around the world that aims to promote international and intercultural understanding, as well as offer materials for scholars and educators, reducing the digital divide within or between countries.

“We know that many people are at home, locked in their homes. So. discover the World Digital Library: free access to thousands of books, documents and photos from all countries and cultures,” UNESCO posted on Twitter, accompanying the text with the hashtags #QuarantineLife #StaySafe #Covid19.

A suggestion, therefore, aimed especially at students and teachers who, due to the Coronavirus emergency, no longer go to school buildings, but do school at home. However, it is an invitation for everyone to learn about a truly immense heritage available on various devices. Searching within the digital library is possible by subject, by country, by language and by era. And among the different themes, they range from history to geography, from philosophy to art and religion.
