TIBET HERITAGE FUND (THF), a non-profit organization registered in Berlin with international members and supporters, is committed to the preservation and advancement of Tibetan Cultural Heritage, and the promoting of international understanding and co-operation. THF's main effort so far has been the study and preservation of the historic city of Lhasa, and a series of interactive maps showcase our documentation and rehabilitation work.
A linked database created by our project provides access to information about several hundred historic buildings, their history, present condition and usage. Maps for virtual and real exploration can be downloaded. Since 1996 THF has initiated the restoration of historic buildings in Lhasa, funding and organizing the rehabilitation of two dozen sites, working with the government and the local communities. Another aspect of THF's work has been the study and documentation of traditional Tibetan architecture, resulting in a small number of non-commercial publications.
