WHO WE ARE

The Penang Heritage Trust (PHT), established in 1986, is a membership-based non-government organisation, open to all.
It is wholly dependent on membership subscriptions, donations, and grants to continue its work in promoting the conservation of Penang’s heritage, and working to save the island’s many historical buildings. In addition, PHT organises cultural, educational, and public awareness programmes for its members and the public. It also strives to work with like-minded organisations, both local and international.
