The International Journal of Documentary Heritage (IJODH), launched in 2024, fosters interdisciplinary research on the world’s documentary heritage. Addressing the need for international academic and professional exchange, the IJODH is a thematic, annual publication of the International Centre for Documentary Heritage (ICDH) under the auspices of UNESCO, published annually on December 30th. It aims to enhance global understanding of documentary heritage by stimulating academic discourse and promoting best practices across related fields.

As the first and only academic journal dedicated to this theme, the IJODH actively expands the international network through annual publications and academic events. We welcome contributions from scholars, specialists, and professionals worldwide. The journal accepts a wide range of formats, including theoretical essays, empirical research articles, policy briefs, book/exhibition reviews, Memory of the World (MoW) nomination-related content, training materials, data articles, practical reports, and narratives. Submission guidelines and further information are available on our website.
