Since 2012 the Fédération Mondiale du Cirque and a number of institutions holding circus collections have been welcomed as Partners of the World Digital Library (www.loc.gov/search?new=true&q=circus) in cooperation with UNESCO. FMC is playing a coordinating role.
“The circus, in its different variants in so many different parts of the world, is an important element of the cultural heritage of humanity…”
John Van Oudenaren,
former chief of the European Division at the Library.
