UNESCO
Names, categories, countries, regions, years, criteria and official summaries primarily come from the UNESCO World Heritage Centre/DataHub, with links to the official record.
SOURCES & RIGHTS
Every source should be visible.
Heritage Folio keeps official data, automated enrichment and editorial copy separate. Unverified quotations and images are not presented as cleared content.
Wikidata
Chinese and English names, descriptions, coordinates, parts, people and Commons file information enrich the record without replacing UNESCO source data.
Wikimedia Commons
Images enter public content only when creator, licence, source page and required attribution can be checked. The original licence still applies.
OpenStreetMap
Maps use OpenStreetMap and its contributors, with attribution retained on map surfaces.
Cultural archive
Why it matters, stories, people, architecture, nature and literature belong to the editorial layer. Quote entries require a verifiable author and source.
Independent project
Heritage Folio is not an official UNESCO product or a heritage management authority. Official record links remain the source of truth.
