Abstract
ABSTRACT Heritage management continues to be an important subject of global relevance. A key tool in promoting and managing heritage is a system to record, monitor, and promote heritage assets. Across the globe there are numerous systems in place to do this. However, the majority are built upon ‘Western’ concepts of heritage and often fail in implementation in other parts of the world because they do not capture different definitions and approaches to heritage. This paper explores some of the challenges and limitations of past heritage management systems in Namibia. It discusses recent attempts to remodel the Namibia Heritage Resources Information System (NAHRIS) to provide better management tools in the form of a digital heritage management system and increase access to heritage, and it reflects on these experiences and their implications for decolonising heritage management systems globally.
