It provides long-term preservation and access services for public domain and in copyright content from a variety of sources, including Google Books, The Internet Archive, Microsoft, and in-house partner institution initiatives."

The Heritage Portal

Created and managed by James Ball, The Heritage Portal (https://www.theheritageportal.co.za/) is a South African history and heritage website that publishes articles and book reviews and shares notices about what is happening throughout the heritage community.The site hosts The Heritage Directory (a list of individuals, organisations and companies providing products and services to South Africa's heritage sector, including a database of South Africa's blue plaques sites) and publishes the online The Heritage Portal Newsletter.

The portal and its various projects are invaluable for reseqrchers and students seeking information on people and venues associated with the history and archival preservation of arts and culture of South Africa. Notably so for some of South Africa’s most endangered heritage sites, including historic theatre and performance venues.

They accept contributions to the newsletter and site from the heritage community.
