In 1957, the Archives of the League of Nations was created. The Archives includes official records as well as portraits, paintings, caricatures, original artworks and unique objects d'art." Along with the Photo Archive, this collection includes "a digital copy of The Illustrated Album of the League of Nations, which includes a very concise overview of the League plus other photos and diagrams.
