Seit 1997 unterstützt die OSZE die Einrichtung von Depotbibliotheken (mit dem Ziel, in jedem OSZE-Teilnehmerstaat über wenigstens eine Bibliothek zu verfügen, die eine Sammlung bedeutender KSZE- und OSZE-Konferenzdokumente sowie OSZE-Informationsmaterial besitzt).

66 Depotbibliotheken wurden von den Teilnehmerländern benannt oder bewarben sich selbst um diesen Status. Diese Bibliotheken werden durchschnittlich einmal im Monat mit den gedruckten Ausgaben aller auf einer Liste aufgeführten Neuerscheinungen beliefert. Gegenwärtig verfügen 43 Länder (einschließlich der USA, Kanadas und des Partnerlandes Japan) über eine oder mehrere OSZE-Depotbibliotheken.

Im Durchschnitt erhalten die Depotbibliotheken monatlich 40 neu veröffentlichte Dokumente, darunter den OSZE-Newsletter, Protokolle und Beschlüsse der Sitzungen des Ständigen Rats und des Forums für Sicherheitskooperation sowie weitere Veröffentlichungen des OSZE-Sekretariats und anderer OSZE-Institutionen.
