Terms of Reference for consultant
 to set up the UNV Archives

1. Background:

In 1998, UNV decided to set up UNV Archives and the Policy and Evaluation
Unit (PEU) was given the lead role in the establishment of the Archives. 

The main purpose of the UNV Archives would be to ensure good archiving of
documents, publications, and other information material of value to the
history of the UNV Programme and also allow easy retrieval of archived
material when needed.

Following the decision to establish the Archives, a number of consultation
meetings with different sections in-house took place at the end 1998 and
also during the course of the first trimester of 1999. The objective of the
consultations was to discuss and agree on documents to be archived.

In addition, two meetings with the Heads of Library Institutes in Bonn and
Cologne were held. The objective of the meetings was to discuss possible
collaboration through the use of library interns but also through
professional support by a consultant who will help PEU in the design phase
of the archives. It was agreed that the Heads of Library Institutes would
assist UNV in identifying a consultant from either Institute to do the job.
Once the archives are designed, library interns could possibly assist with
the rest of the archiving, i.e. recording, classification, filing, etc.

2. Tasks to be undertaken by the consultant: 

In light of the above, and to ensure that functional UNV Archives are set
up, a consultant with library skills, and preferably familiarity with the
UN system will be required to carry out the following tasks:

In collaboration with PEU/Reference Unit, the consultant will be asked

¨ To assist with the design of the UNV Archives; and
¨ To set up a database for the archiving of material.

3. Expected results:

a. UNV Archives designed; and
b. Database for the archival of material in the UNV Archives set up.

4. Duration

It is expected that the consultancy will last 6-8 weeks
