A new "Browse by Topic" page allows users to explore the collections available through the WHO portal based on subject categories such as "Art and Architecture" and "Politics and Government." An image carousel added to the front page allows us to dynamically highlight some of the unique items available through WHO. If you have other suggestions for how to improve the WHO portal, please let us know!

 

Members, we encourage you to add a link to the portal from your organization's webpage to make it easy for your users to find. You can download WHO logos from our logos page.
