Donations and Legacies

Donate – and help us continue to preserve and share Levantine arts, culture and heritage

The Levantine Heritage Foundation is reliant on memberships, donations and commercial sponsorships to build and maintain our public access website and to put on events.

The Levantine Heritage website is the leading reference site for independent researchers and academics. We receive several requests a month for information, contacts and images. The LHF is frequently cited in third party publications and media productions.

We organise several online talks each year and occasional international seminars and conferences. Locations include Istanbul, Izmir, Athens, London, Venice, Paris and Beirut.

Current projects the Levantine Heritage Library, preserving legacy archives of books and documents in a permanent home where they can be accessed and the Digital Archive Project, where documents and records are digitized for global access.

Your donation will have an impact in sustaining our work and preserving our collection for the future. You can make a one-off donation or make regular contributions. Regular giving helps the LHF plan for the future.
