The Portal to the Heritage of Astronomy exists to raise awareness of the importance of astronomical heritage worldwide and to facilitate efforts to identify, protect and preserve such heritage for the benefit of humankind, both now and in the future. What is astronomical heritage? Cultural heritage related to the sky is a vital component of cultural heritage in general.Why preserve it?What is the purpose of this web portal?   Astronomy and world heritage This portal was set up to support UNESCO’s Astronomy and World Heritage Initiative (AWHI) and continues to provide thematic essays, case studies and general information, for example on preparing a nomination dossier for the World Heritage List. We encourage professional users to register and login in order to view detailed information, propose a new case study or suggest changes to an existing one.     Astronomical heritage categories Click on the different parts of this diagram to find out more about a certain category of astronomical heritage.     Regional and national heritage We are developing a list of astronomical heritage resources at the regional or national level that are available on other internet sites. If you have items that you would like added to this list, please contact our This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..   Dark skies See our Dark Skies Information page for further information about International Dark Sky Reserves, Starlight Reserves, and other Dark Sky Places. Finding relevant information You can locate case studies of interest both geographically and temporally using our astronomical heritage finder, or browse a complete list. You could also start from one of our Thematic Essays. Full case studies Full case studies, structured as sections of draft dossiers, aim to highlight issues that might arise if State Parties were to prepare nomination dossiers highlighting the astronomical values of the properties concerned. Examples: Chankillo, Peru Risco Caído and the sacred mountains of Gran Canaria, Spain N.B. Both these properties have been inscribed on the World Heritage List since being published on the Portal. Short case studies Short case studies follow the format used in the ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study on Astronomical Heritage. Examples: Hortobágy Puszta, Hungary Jantar Mantar at Jaipur, India Sydney Observatory, Australia IAU “Outstanding Astronomical Heritage” sites Over 110 of the IAU’s outstanding astronomical heritage sites have now been published on the portal. These are sites considered outstanding in the history of astronomy but which are not necessarily suitable for inscription on the World Heritage List. The period from the European Renaissance to the middle of the 20th century was an extremely rich one for the history of astronomy and the IAU’s list so far focuses on sites of this type. Examples: Uraniborg and Stellaeburgum, Sweden La Plata Observatory, Argentina Bosscha Observatory, Indonesia   Movable objects We have recently introduced movable object case studies in order to document items such as artefacts and portable instruments in a more suitable format. Examples: Nebra Sky Disc, Germany Ishango Bone, Democratic Republic of the Congo   Places connected to the Sky PC2S is our global community project, set up in 2019 as part of the IAU’s 100 Years Under one Sky celebrations. The examples on the Portal illustrate some novel ways in which terrestrial locations can be connected to the sky, including: Aiello del Friuli, village of sundials, Italy Otford Solar System, UK, USA, Falkland Is., Australia, New Zealand For more information follow this link!     Regional and national heritage We are developing a list of astronomical heritage resources at the regional or national level that are available on other internet sites.
