Heritage, Bronze sculpture at National Archives Building in Washington DC, United States.

Heritage is a 1935 outdoor sculpture by American artist James Earle Fraser, installed in front of the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. It is a companion piece to Fraser's Guardianship, and the National Archives Foundation's Heritage Award takes its name from the work.

Heritage was made in 1935 by the American sculptor James Earle Fraser as a companion piece to his Guardianship, and both were installed in front of the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. The building, begun in the 1930s, was designed by John Russell Pope to house the federal government's records.

The National Archives Foundation's Heritage Award takes its name from this sculpture; it honours people and organisations whose work furthers the foundation's mission of teaching and deepening appreciation of the country's heritage. Fraser carved Heritage as the partner of Guardianship, and the two flank the National Archives Building on Constitution Avenue.

The sculpture is accessible from Constitution Avenue and located near the National Mall where multiple metro stations serve visitors. The grounds are open to public access and the artwork can be viewed from outside at any time of day.

The work was designed as a companion piece to another sculpture called Guardianship also located at the National Archives Building. Together these two pieces form a thematic pair that underscores responsibility for preserving national records.
