Founded in 1986, the Singapore Heritage Society is a non-profit,
non-government organisation and registered charity.
The Society is dedicated to the preservation,
transmission and promotion of Singapore’s history, heritage and identity.
The Society aims to promote active interest in the cultural life and
history of Singapore and to initiate action on research, evaluation,
documentation, publication, collection, display, and preservation and
restoration of skills and items of historical interest.
Over the years,
we have been involved in many projects to
raise awareness of Singapore’s history and cultural heritage,
including publishing books, organising talks and forums as well as
conducting heritage tours for our members as well as the general public.
We play an advocacy role in advancing civil society viewpoints on
issues such as the remaking of Chinatown (1998) and the demolition
of the National Library building at Stamford Road (2001).
Both of these issues were in the spotlight of the media and the
subsequent robust discussions and outpouring of public opinion
did not go unnoticed. We have also published several fine titles
that include Living Legacy, Pastel Portraits and Our Place In Time –
volumes that have over time acquired standing and regard in the academic
community.
