Sources for WBG History Guide

This guide pulls together sources on World Bank Group history. It is focused on items held outside the World Bank Group sites and repositories.

A compilation of resources concerning the history of the World Bank Group (WBG)

This guide aims to give researchers, students, and the public interested in the World Bank Group a place to start their research.  It is not exhaustive, but should help point the way.

Our focus is on sources about operational and organizational World Bank history.  There is a wealth of information held in WBG sites and repositories - especially for overall WBG History (World Bank Group Archives) and general WBG information (World Bank Group Infoguide).

Disclaimers:

  • This guide is a work in progress.
  • We have not read/watched all of these works, nor does the World Bank Group take responsibility for content, links, and items held on non-Bank sites.

 

WE NEED YOU --- If you know of a site or item which is missing from this list, please contact us at emalerts@worldbank.org.
