Standards & Guidelines

The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada: A Tool to Assist in Heritage Conservation

The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada is the first-ever pan-Canadian benchmark for heritage conservation practice in this country. It offers results-oriented guidance for sound decision making when planning for, intervening in and using historic places.

The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada result from a major collaborative effort among federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments, heritage conservation professionals, heritage developers and many individual Canadians.

Such assistance is often done in conjunction with a funding application to the Heritage Preservation Partnership Program of the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation.
