The Heritage Portal hosts The Heritage Directory, a list of individuals, organisations and companies active in South Africa's heritage sector. Hundreds of listings across dozens of categories have been added over the years with many more to go.

If you are part of the Directory already (click here to view), please check your details and let us know if anything needs to be updated (email jamesball01@gmail.com). Click here if you would like join. An annual subscription for commercial organisations cost R600 per year. Non-profit / community organisations are listed free of charge.

We want to make heritage organisations of all kinds easy to find, inspire new connections and ensure that heritage work is carried out with the appropriate skills, technology and materials.
