GENERAL RESOURCES


The Town of Hartney Heritage website (www.hartneyheritage.ca) has information about local heritage resources and activities, and links to other sites of interest.

Manitoba’s Historic Resources Branch hosts several useful publications for heritage building owners, including the branch’s Maintenance Manual, Windows Guide and Green Guide. The site also links to other publications such as the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of  Historic Places in Canada.

Check the website of “Canada’s Historic Places” (www.historicplaces.ca) to learn about the range of historic sites in Canada.

The Heritage Canada Foundation is an advocacy organization whose mission is to encourage Canadians to “protect and promote their built, historic and cultural heritage.” You can browse the HCF website (www.heritagecanada.org) to find many useful articles about building conservation that have appeared in its magazine, Heritage.

Terminology found in these guidelines has been taken directly from other government publications, primarily the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada. The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada is the fi rst-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 is available online at:

www.historicplaces.ca.
