SAHRA has completed version 2 of the South African Heritage Resources Information System, commonly known as SAHRIS. Development of the system began in January 2012 using the Drupal Content Management System platform in line with SAHRA's overall adoption of free open source software. Version 1 covers heritage case management and is integrated with the National Inventory of sites and objects. The system has been tested and used by SAHRA's staff since May 2012 and is being rolled out in phases. Version 2 covers site and collection management.
Through SAHRIS, SAHRA is able to provide a heritage management tool to all heritage bodies and custodians
of heritage, as well as to local planning authorities and provincial heritage resources authorities.
The system enables the efficient and coordinated management of our heritage, and the maximization of benefit to be attained from our heritage resources by appropriate promotion and use of these resources. SAHRA views the custodians of heritage resources as integral partners in this project and is providing forums for participation in the project.
You will have noticed that the SAHRA website has changed considerably since the 5 August 2012. The SAHRIS system provides both the front end and back end of the site. In order to use the SAHRIS features, you need an account on SAHRIS. This service is free of charge and your account will be activated by the administrator. A tutorial for creating an account is available in Chapter 1 of the first SAHRIS tutorial.
The following tutorials are available for viewing on YouTube or for direct download. You will need a compatible Video Player for the direct downloads - try VLC Media Player if your computer has problems opening the files. We also have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section below the HELP menu.
