The United Nations Digital Library is a primary bibliographic database of the United Nations established in 1979. It consists of the official documents and publications produced the UN System. It is managed and developed by the Dag Hammarskjold Library.

The database is regularly updated with the documents and records of the UN General Assembly, Security Council, and the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

It has maintained a record in digital format from 1982 to the present day[1] on various subjects, including voting, bibliographic files, speeches files, full text UN resolutions, document series symbol, UNBIS thesaurus (dictionary or encyclopedia), and name authorities.[2][3] https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3956079/files/ST_SG_SER-A_81_E.pdf
