The UNESCO Memory of the World Register is the international register of the Memory of the World Programme, launched in 1992 to recognize documentary heritage of outstanding global significance, distinct from both the UNESCO World Heritage List, which recognizes sites, and the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, which recognizes living practices. This atlas separately records two individual inscriptions from this same register, the Donghak Peasant Revolution Records and the Ancient Naxi Dongba Literature Manuscripts, each one an entry in the same continuously maintained official register rather than an independent study, so citing this general record alongside either of those entries is the Programme's own institutional voice appearing more than once, not two independent lines of evidence. Use it for a document collection's inscription status and the programme's own stated account of its significance; it is an official designation record, not an independent codicological or historical study.
