Focus and Scope

The Heritage Journal (ISSN: 0219-8584) publishes research articles on the history, culture and the art practices of Asia, with an emphasis on material culture, cultural resource management and museum practice. As a Singapore-based publication, The Heritage Journal has a special focus on Singapore and its surrounding region, but will address subjects with a wider Asian or global relevance. In addition to full-length research articles, The Heritage Journal will publish collection, conservation and exhibition notes and reviews, with the goal of fostering research in areas of professional museum practice in the region.

The journal began life as Heritage, a publication of the Singapore National Museum in 1977, and has its roots in the Bulletin of the Raffles Museum which began publishing on zoological subjects in 1936 and the Memoirs of the Raffles Museum, a series of monographs which began publication in the 1950s. It has a multinational advisory board comprising of academics and museum professionals from Singapore and the region.
