Summary/Abstract: In the communique the Author described the idea of the establishment by the UNESCO, in 1992, Memory of the World Register, sometimes called the UNESCO Memory of the World, and detailed the objects from East Asia, which have been entered into the register. The essence of the register is to protect the so-called documentary heritage of mankind, i.e. the most valuable documents that illustrate important events in the history of mankind. In the case of objects inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register, the most important is their intangible asset – their historical, scientific, sometimes artistic value. So far, in the Register, from East Asian countries, there are objects from China (10), Japan (3), South Korea (11) and Mongolia (3).
