The UNESCO Thesaurus A meeting of users of the UNESCO Thesaurus was held at the Public Record Office on February 25th 2000. Members (25 in all) from national, university, specialist and local authority repositories, had previously attended an introductory day on the UNESCO Thesaurus and subject indexing held at the PRO on December 8th 1999. At this day event they had volunteered to promote the use of the thesaurus amongst the archive profession. At the meeting, it was agreed that the UNESCO Thesaurus is a high level thesaurus to which the archive community in the UK could subscribe. Endorsement of the UNESCO Thesaurus as a standard for high level subject indexing, will be sought from umbrella bodies within the profession. It would be useful in this context, if other users of the UNESCO Thesaurus could indicate their usage by sending a brief email to Charles Tattersall at the PRO <[log in to unmask]> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
