NOTE: In order to fulfill better our mission as an ILO Depository LIbrary, the combined efforts of the Cornell Law Library and the ILR School (Industrial & Labor Relations) at Cornell University present this archive for the use of faculty, researchers, students, practitioners and workers in governments, companies, and unions, as well as for the general public. We are grateful to the ILO for cooperating with us in this endeavor. Capturing a web site is in many respects a new form of collecting a book. In this case, the book is the web site which binds the entire intellectual content of an organization at the time of capture (as available on the server targeted). All of its organizational structure, intellectual output, and personnel are placed in context. In other words, this is a organizational "snapshot" in time.

Archive of the
International Labour Organization (ILO) mirrored web site as of 31 January 2006
http://ilo-mirror.library.cornell.edu

 
This guide to the archive consists of three sections --
Description; About the ILO; and How to Use the Archive.
 
 
Description:
This archive is a joint project of the Cornell Law Library at the Cornell Law School and the Martin P. Catherwood Library at the ILR School (Industrial & Labor Relations) at Cornell. The ILO Mirror Site was run by the Cornell Law Library from 1998 to the beginning of 2006. For background information about the mirror site, see the Cornell Chronicle–
Web site for labor organization is created at Law School library [14 May 1998]
http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/98/5.14.98/labor-web.html
 
The archive is actually a "snapshot" of the mirror site on the last day of its existence, 31 January 2006. It consists of captured pages, documents, videos, and other forms and formats of information that existed on this site and server on that date. In capturing the material, internal software was not included. Hence, some databases and other forms of information referenced may not be active. Links that connect to material outside the web site itself may or may not work. Essentially, only material within the mirror site server (exclusive of those run by internal software) should be reliably accessible.
 
This ILO Mirror Site was archived on 27 April 2009 by George Kozak, Digital Library Specialist, Division of Library Information Technologies (DLIT), Digital Media Group at Olin Library at the request of Stuart Basefsky, see - http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/directory/smb6/
The HTTrack Web Site Copier was used to complete the task. See http://www.httrack.com/
 
Persons using this archive will find numerous utilities including, but not limited to, the following:
(1)   Discover the organization, structure, hierarchy and key individuals of the ILO on 31 January 2006
(2)   Find full-text documents in PDF or HTML formats that existed on the web site on 31 January 2006
(3)   Identify the context in which the ILO presented its materials in order to carry out the mission it envisioned or was assigned on 31 January 2006
(4)   Inform oneself about the status of laws, standards, and social norms as they related to the global mission of the ILO on  31 January 2006
 
Note: As one logs onto this site, the current date will appear in the upper right. However, one must look at the What's New section to see that the most recent story is from Tuesday, 31 January 2006 – the date of the snapshot. Some links, if still used by the ILO, may take you to current information rather than archived information. Please look carefully at the information you find so as not to get confused.
 
About the ILO
http://ilo-mirror.library.cornell.edu/public/english/about/index.htm
 
Mandate
The International Labour Organization is the UN specialized agency which seeks the promotion of social justice and internationally recognized human and labour rights. It was founded in 1919 and is the only surviving major creation of the Treaty of Versailles which brought the League of Nations into being and it became the first specialized agency of the UN in 1946.

The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment, and other standards regulating conditions across the entire spectrum of work related issues. It provides technical assistance primarily in the fields of:
• vocational training and vocational rehabilitation;
• employment policy;
• labour administration;
• labour law and industrial relations;
• working conditions;
• management development;
• cooperatives;
• social security;
• labour statistics and occupational safety and health.

It promotes the development of independent employers' and workers' organizations and provides training and advisory services to those organizations. Within the UN system, the ILO has a unique tripartite structure with workers and employers participating as equal partners with governments in the work of its governing organs.
 
 
How to Use the Archive
 
This Web Archive Collection is part of a continuing effort by the Cornell Law Library and the Martin P. Catherwood (ILR) Library to retain key resources and publications in all formats for future generations of researchers.
