The Rescue of Nubian Monuments and Sites: the International Campaign, UNESCO's own account of its international effort to relocate the Nubian monuments threatened by the Aswan High Dam, records the campaign's own history and achievements. Its strength is that it comes directly from the organization that ran the campaign, an authoritative primary record of what was done. Its limit is that it is the organizing body's own account of its own campaign, not an independent scholarly archaeological study of the monuments themselves.
