Introduction

The Canadian Register of Historic Places (CRHP) is a collaboration involving all levels of government across Canada.

The CRHP provides a single source of information about all historic places recognized for their heritage value at the local, provincial, territorial and national levels throughout Canada.

• By providing Canadians with a simple, searchable, and continually updated database of over 12,400 designated historic places across Canada;
• By making available information about designated historic places such as a description of the place, relating the values associated with the site, as well as the elements which embody those values;
• Through the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, a guide of principles and best practices for those making decisions regarding the conservation of Canada’s historic places.
