This website compliments an exhibition outlining the achievements of these individuals and organizations by including primary and secondary documents, bibliographies and related links for each laureate. The material begins with Frederic Passy, who won the Peace Prize in 1901, and ends with the International Atomic Energy Agency and Mohamed ElBaradei, who received Nobel Prize in 2005. Ultimately this project will digitize many more documents, including manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, images, reports, addresses, etc., associated with the forty Nobel Peace Prize laureates that were leaders of the pre-World War I peace movement, the League of Nations, and the United Nations.

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of five Nobel Prizes, bequeathed by Alfred Nobel. The Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to an individual or organization. It may also be awarded to persons or organizations involved in ongoing peace process and not just the resolution of an issue.

The project is a cooperative venture between the Center for the Study of Global Change, the Indiana University Library, and the United Nations Library System, based in Geneva, Switzerland.
