Zamani Project

Zamani Project

By creating metrically accurate digital representations of historical sites, the Zamani Project seeks to increase awareness and knowledge of tangible cultural heritage in Africa and internationally. Digital spatial data of cultural heritage sites can be used for research and education, for restoration and conservation and as a record for future generations.

The Zamani Project operates as a non-profit organisation within the University of Cape Town.
