Heritage research focuses on the study and conservation of cultural and natural heritage sites, artifacts, traditions, and practices that have significance and value for society. This area of research examines the history, meaning, and preservation of heritage resources, and explores how they contribute to identity, memory, and social cohesion. Heritage research often involves interdisciplinary approaches, drawing on fields such as archaeology, anthropology, history, sociology, conservation, and cultural studies. Researchers in this area work to document, protect, and promote heritage resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
