So how was it possible that the archives of a political international organization were kept safe throughout the growing pains of the 1920s, its steady demise in the 1930s, and its almost entire shut-down during the World War II? And how are the archives of the United Nations Office at Geneva managed in order to ensure that they will be available to researchers in the future? In order to answer these questions this paper will discuss the historical devel- opment, policy, and management issues of the archives of the League of Nations (League) and its successor organization, the United Nations (UN), with a focus on the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG). From the very beginning of the League in 1919, a registry system was put in place to maintain and circulate the official correspondence and records of the League’s Secretariat. A description of the registry system and its relevant policies and guidelines provides an understanding of the set up of the archives. It also helps explain how administrative history determined the scope and contents of the archive collections.
