Heritage Survey Program
The primary activity of the Heritage Survey Program is the maintenance of a database of over 70,000 records of non-archaeological heritage resources in Alberta. The Survey contains information gathered as early as 1971, and has been continuously added to since then. A wide variety of site types is represented, from geological and natural features, to houses, grain elevators, train stations and barns. The main emphasis of the survey is historic buildings and other structures, usually more than 50 years of age. Information on file includes details of architectural characteristics, history, designation status, location and photographs. The Survey provides a base of knowledge upon which informed decisions relating to Alberta's heritage resources can be made.
