Recent additions to the UN's Memory of the World Register have been announced today, including Magna Carta (1215), which was the centrepiece of the 'Rule of Law' section of the exhibition. Other items on the list include Anne Frank's Diaries, the League of Nations' Archives, the Archives of Terror, and Woodblocks of Nguyen Dynasty - a list of hope and horror, and all records that must be preserved for posterity. The full list is online.
