  UNESCO completing 57-year work on General History of HumanitySeptember 30, 2009 - 19:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - UNESCO is completing the edition of the "General History of Humanity," which, since its inception in 1952, gave rise to all the other regional histories. Over thousand eight hundred specialists from all over the world have contributed to the six series: the General history of Humanity; General History of Africa; History of Civilizations of Central Asia; General History of the Caribbean; and The Different Aspects of Islamic Culture. The 51 volumes of the six series provide insight into the cultural and scientific heritage of each region and present multiple perspectives with pride of place to the peoples concerned, as a large proportion of contributors come from the concerned region. Marking the achievement, UNSECO will hold a symposium on October 5 and 6. Participants will exchange views on the edition and discuss ways to make it accessible for students and citizens in different countries.
