Answer

How should I cite UN Archives Geneva records in my dissertations/publications?

Precise citations are extremely important. They give credit to the authors of the work you have consulted, and provide a way for others to find the same sources that you have used. Incorrect or incomplete citations are seen by some institutions and publishers as plagiarism.

Researchers wishing to reproduce or publish material found in the UN Archives Geneva which is held under copyright by a third party are responsible for requesting permission directly from the copyright holder.

 

The style of citation depends on the preferences of your discipline, instructor, and/or publisher. Information that must be included in any citation of United Nations Geneva archival material is:


1.    Repository: United Nations Archives Geneva (can be further abbreviated to UNAG after the first mention)
2.    Reference number: typically, this will look like "R1450/28/7632/3213"
3.    Title: can be the title of the document, the title of the file, or the caption of the photo
4.    Date: the date (or date range) of the document or file
5.    Depending on the citation style of your field, you may need to include the title of the file, series, and fonds
