project website Running Albania’s Historical Environment Recording system (HER)
The FoAP project, within the Albanian Heritage Foundation, develops and maintains a national Database Management System (DBMS) for archaeological sites, monuments and historical areas. Through this system we monitor, evaluate, protect and manage the archaeological sites and monuments data in relation to their surrounding territories.
