Goals and Objectives

The objectives are to identify and create a unique listing of heritage spaces and cultural documentation so that heritage and preservation acts can be enforced.

Use Case Summary

These are state-based digital registries, repositories, and listings of local communities’ heritage places such as historical sites, significant historical events, and cultural documentation to preserve local culture knowledge.
