The Axumite Heritage Foundation (AHF) was established by the Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) in 1993 with the aim of restoring, preserving, and promoting Axum’s ancient and modern cultural achievements. The mission of the Foundation is to establish local institutions of learning to preserve, promote, and transmit Axumite culture in particular, and Ethiopian culture in general. The A

xumite Heritage Foundation oversees the cultural and educational hub of the Axumite Heritage Library, the Institute of Axumite Studies, and a region-specific ethnographic museum. While the Institute and museum are currently under development, the Axumite Heritage Library has been open to the public since 2002. The library temporarily resides in Axum’s former governor’s palace, the ‘Inda Nebri’id, which the AHF restored from its dilapidated state in the 1990's. A new, modern library is now under construction in the ‘Inda Nebri’id compound. It will house the permanent Axumite Heritage Library and the Institute of Axumite Studies, while the palace building will be transformed to a museum.
