The South African National Heritage Council (NHC) has commissioned the DGSD team at the HSRC to conduct research that would contribute to the identification of, and provide supporting narratives for new liberation heritage sites.

The NHC identified the development and management of the legacy of the liberation struggle as an important aspect of heritage preservation in the country, and initiated the Liberation Heritage Route (LHR) project as one of the initiatives in this regard. The LHR is intended to consist of a series of sites that express the key aspects of the South African liberation experience.

These sites are linked together by a common historical narrative of the liberation struggle and experience, and consist of historical evidence of events and activities associated with the history of the struggle. This seminar will focus on the master narrative being developed for the LHR project while indicating some of the most significant heritage sites identified.
