Kulturmiljösförbundet

Kulturmiljösförbundet, often translated as the Heritage Environment Association, is a Swedish non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage environments. The organization focuses on the tangible and intangible aspects of cultural heritage, recognizing that the historical significance of a place is tied to its physical fabric, its surrounding landscape, and the traditions and practices associated with it. Kulturmiljösförbundet engages in a variety of activities to achieve its mission, including raising public awareness, advocating for protective policies, and supporting research and documentation of cultural heritage sites.

The association works with a broad definition of cultural heritage environments, encompassing everything from historic buildings and urban districts to ancient ruins, agricultural landscapes, and industrial sites. They emphasize the importance of understanding the historical context and the continuous development of these environments. Kulturmiljösförbundet often collaborates with local communities, municipalities, national authorities, and other heritage organizations to achieve common goals. Their work aims to ensure that future generations can benefit from and learn from Sweden's rich cultural history. The organization is funded through membership fees, grants, and donations, allowing them to undertake projects and disseminate information about cultural heritage.
