Johannesburg Heritage Foundation

The Johannesburg Heritage Foundation (JHF) is an activist, conservation and education organization that aims to conserve the built heritage of Johannesburg, South Africa, while informing residents about the city's "precious, non-renewable, finite and irreplaceable" heritage resources.

History
The foundation offers access to many heritage resources, through tours, research and education. Its focus is on retaining Johannesburg's existing cultural heritage for generations to come. It grew from the Parktown & Westcliff Heritage Trust, an organization that wished to support the heritage of Parktown Mansions and other suburbs. The foundation recognized that heritage extended beyond the Randlords mansions could be found across the greater metropolis. ==Blue plaques==
