National Monuments in Namibia: An inventory of proclaimed national monuments in the Republic of Namibia presents the national monuments in Namibia, as identified and declared part of the country's cultural and natural heritage by previous and current heritage conservation bodies, namely the Historical Monuments Commission (1948-1968), the National Monuments Council of South Africa (1969-1990) and the National Monuments Council of Namibia (since Namibia's independence in 1990). A short historical outline of these organisations and a list of their members are presented as well. The focus of the inventory is on national monuments declared between 1950 and 1992, identifying and describing them individually and outlining their environmental, archaeological, historical or cultural-historical significance. In the case of historical monuments, their inscriptions are cited in full, their exact location in Namibia is indicated, and the way in which they are identified and described in the various declarations published in the Official gazette is given for the researcher.
