The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), in partnership with UNESCO, launched its international conference titled “Innovating Documentary Heritage for Sustainable Development in AlUla and Saudi Arabia,” to be held at UNESCO headquarters in Paris on April 29 and 30.

The conference is held under UNESCO’s “Memory of the World” program and will host leading experts, institutions concerned with historical memory, and cultural policymakers. It will discuss ways to utilize documentary heritage in supporting education, promoting cultural dialogue, and advancing sustainable development goals in Saudi Arabia and the Arab region.

Alongside the conference, an exhibition titled “Words on Memory: A Window into Saudi Arabia’s Documentary Heritage” is being held at UNESCO headquarters from April 28 to May 2. It will showcase archival materials and historical narratives of the Kingdom, in partnership with national memory institutions, for the first time internationally.

The initiative reflects RCU’s commitment to preserving AlUla’s natural and cultural heritage in support of Saudi Vision 2030 and to establishing AlUla as a regional center for cultural leadership and heritage-driven development.

The conference also extends RCU’s partnership with UNESCO under the “Memory of the World” program and the Kingdoms Institute, reaffirming their joint efforts in documentary heritage preservation, capacity building, and global knowledge exchange.
