The combination of Augmented Reality (AR) technology and the preservation of historical heritage can promote advances in management, maintenance, and documentation of objects and historical sites. The importance of this integration is that digitalizing these historical heritage assets is a worldwide trend because it is the other way of storing information and allowing access and interaction with the public. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), and it aims to identify and analyze existing studies on AR applications used in visualizing historical heritage. A methodological procedure was adopted involving the use of protocols and documents for conducting the SLR. The application areas, specific activities, modeling programs, AR programs, tracking techniques, and visualization devices were identified. Results present which programs, visualization devices and tracking techniques are highlighted in the studies. AR applications used in the sample aim for memory recovery, preservation, and interaction with the historical-cultural heritage
