2 Standards for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada

The Standards for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada are intended to promote responsible conservation practices that help protect Canada’s irreplaceable historic places. They provide a philosophical consistency for project work; and while neither technical nor case-specific, they provide the framework for making essential decisions about which features of a historic place should be maintained, and which can be altered.
