Terran Register of the Cultural Heritage of Humanity

The Terran Register of the Cultural Heritage of Humanity is a list maintained by the Terran Organization for the Preservation of Humanity's History. The Register is comprised of cultural "places, practices, and expressions that help demonstrate the diversity of the heritage of humanity and raise awareness about its importance."

The Register distinguishes between "tangible" and "intangible" cultural elements. "Tangible" elements are places and locations listed for their cultural significance. "Intangible" elements are practices and expressions listed for their cultural significance.

Several of the cultural places and practices listed on the Register are listed as "in need of urgent safeguarding." This smaller list is composed of those cultural elements that concerned communities and countries consider require urgent measures to keep them alive. The Terran Organization for the Preservation of Humanity's History often earmarks charitable funds to aid in the preservation of these practices.
