heritage society
History-keeping organization
A heritage society is an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history, culture, or traditions of a particular place, group, or era.
These groups typically maintain archives, historic buildings, or artifacts, and often sponsor educational programs: The local heritage society restored the 1850s farmhouse.
Members tend to share genealogical interests or regional pride.
