As we look to a new century and a new millenium, it is extremely fitting that the Jamaica National Heritage Trust is taking the bold step of establishing this website. Now we are under the microscope of the world for all to see how well we are carrying out the mandate to preserve, protect, maintain and promote the nation’s heritage.

The term global village has just become a reality for us as we join the information superhighway. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to show off the richness and diversity of our cultural heritage product. It is also an opportunity to share with the rest of the world, information on archaeological, historic and architectural research that we have been undertaking.

We intend to make full and effective use of technology as we seek to inform, raise awareness and celebrate the people, places and institutions that define us as individuals and as a nation.
