MUSEUM AND HERITAGE RESOURCE SERVICE<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Description<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The sub-programmes Museum Services and Heritage Resource Services (MHRS) focus on the promotion and preservation of the provincial heritage estate. It provides for the conservation, promotion and development of the culture and heritage. Museum Services have a close link with tourism and the increase in provincial -, national – and international visitor numbers is of the utmost importance. Furthermore, Outreach – and Educational programmes are offered annually.<\/div>\n
\n

MHRS boasts strong research ethic and academic connections despite a shortage of specialists in certain fields. Their presence in this unique Province is felt through well established and recognized institutions and infrastructure. There are altogether 38 museums in the Province. Our work resonates in our strategic vision which is the promotion, development and transformation of Museums and Heritage Resources.
\nHeritage Resource Management implements the national mandates of the South African Geographical Names Council Act, 1998 and the South African Heritage Resources Act, 1999. The Heritage Resource Services is key to the preservation of cultural heritage and promotion of social cohesion. Cooperation with municipalities is essential with the issue of permits for development, which ensures that the cultural heritage is not lost in the process.<\/p>\n

Social cohesion is driven through memorials, commemorative lectures and –plaques, book launches and Geographic Name Changes. These require intensive research and consultations. The unit collaborates with Special Programmes, the Provincial Heritage Resources Authority (PHRA) and other stakeholders in effecting its mandate and reduces cost in the process. Heritage\/museums, rural development and world heritage have a unique relationship and tremendous potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
