UK Antarctic Heritage Trust

The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) works to conserve Antarctic buildings and artefacts and to promote and encourage public interest in Antarctic heritage.

Besides its flagship site at Port Lockroy, the Trust conserves five other British historic sites on the Antarctic Peninsula. The Trust supports sister organisations to look after heritage sites in other parts of Antarctica. 

It is active in promoting Antarctic public engagement and supports institutions that have a connection to Antarctic heritage through its collections or through education and outreach.

UKAHT is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 1993 which works to safeguard evidence of Antarctica's historic heritage. UKAHT is managed by Trustees and operates with a small permanent team in the UK and an extended seasonal team of Antarctic staff.
