Draft:Simon van der Stel Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Simon van der Stel Foundation (or Stigting Simon van der Stel in Afrikaans), now known as the Heritage Association of South Africa and founded on 8 April 1959, is "the largest and oldest conservation lobby group in South Africa dedicated to "conserving the national estate... dedicated to conserving the national estate."[1][2]

The Foundation is involved in the protection, preservation, and restoration of buildings of historical, architectural, and cultural significance. It provides advice on restoration and actively endeavors to raise public awareness of South Africa's cultural heritage. Restorica, their quarterly publication, plays a significant role in this effort.[citation needed]
