The United Nations Documents Index covers publications from 1950-1973. We also have a four-volume, cumulative version of this index for the years 1950-1962. The Index was later split into UNDEX and UNDOC, both of which ceased publication in 1996. All indexes include a list of documents and publications, a list of official records, an author index, a title index, and a subject index.
Besides the Documents Index, we have separate indexes for the UN Treaty Series; for the proceedings of the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, and Trusteeship Council; and for documents of the League of Nations. All indexes are shelved in our off-site storage facility. Please contact Christopher Lemery for access.
