The HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) in the Magellanic Clouds is using the PACS and SPIRE imaging instruments on Herschel to study the life cycle of baryonic matter in galaxies as traced by dust emission. We summarize results based on the early science demonstration data strip in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from HERITAGE on the interstellar medium and star formation. We find that the dust in the ISM of the LMC is probably different than dust in the Milky Way. We detect the first Stage 0 young stellar object candidates in an external galaxy.
