I.    Background 
UNESCO, as the United Nations agency mandate to promote “the free flow of ideas by word and image,” play a leading role in preservation and accessibility of documentary heritage through its Memory of the World Programme. Documentary heritage in archives, libraries and museums constitutes a major part of the memory of the world and reflects the diversity of peoples, languages and cultures.

The PEACE Project (Peace Education, Archives Preservation and Digitalization for Youth Empowerment) is a key initiative of UNESCO Phnom Penh that supports Cambodia's efforts in documentary heritage preservation, advancing peace education, and youth engagement. Central to the project is  the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (TSGM)—a key site of memory from the Khmer Rouge era—which houses one of the most comprehensive archives collections documenting the atrocities committed during Democratic Kampuchea (1975–1979). In recognition of its historical significance, the TSGM archives were inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in 2009.

UNESCO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts (MoCFA) and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, with financial support from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), implemented Phase I of the project. This phase focused on preservation over 745,000 pages of records and digitized nearly half a million to ensure long-term access. These efforts all include establishing a secure digital archives and cataloguing system, as well as creating bilingual website to make the archive wisely accessible.

Building on this foundation, Phase II has expended the project scope to adopts an intersectoral approach.  It continues preservation and access efforts while introducing new initiatives that link documentary heritage with peace education, youth engagement, and cultural heritage conservation—including site conservation at M-13, Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek Genocidal Center—and supports the potential nomination of Tuol Sleng as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
