International Telecommunication Union ITU

For a century and a half since 1865, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has been at the centre of advances in communications – from telegraphy through to the modern world of satellites, mobile phones and the Internet.

The story of ITU is one of international cooperation, among governments, private companies and other stakeholders. ITU’s activities generate a multitude of documents and publications: studies, decisions, treaties, regulations, statistics and much more.

This wealth of information is preserved by the ITU Library and Archives Service. In this dataset you'll find the metadata powering its web portal http://www.itu.int/history, the ITU's gateway to a wealth of information about its history.
