[BCMA] Launch of the new BC Register of Historic Places

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello,



I am pleased to share that the new BC Register of Historic Places (BCRHP)
<https://apps.nrs.gov.bc.ca/bcrhp/> has been launched with information on
over 5,000 registered sites across British Columbia. The move to an online
database showcases the diversity of historic sites across our province, and
it will provide you with increased access to information about officially
recognized or protected historic places in British Columbia.



The new register is built on an open source software that is intuitive and
easy to use. It is used by jurisdictions across the world to manage
cultural heritage data, including Parks Canada (Canadian Register of
Historic Places), and Historic England. It offers powerful search and
analytic capabilities that will allow you to explore data relationships and
generate reports on historic places in B.C. It will also continue to enable
the sharing of historic place information with all necessary provincial
internal systems (such as, BC Data Catalogue) and external systems (such
as, the Canadian Register of Historic Places).



The new BCRHP will increase the understanding and appreciation of cultural
heritage resources by the people of British Columbia and strengthen the
province’s ability to protect and manage historic places. I invite you to
explore the wealth of provincial historic site information that the BCRHP
contains, and to share this information with your partners and the members
of the public that you serve.



If you have any questions, please reach out to the Heritage Branch at the
Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sports at heritage at gov.bc.ca.



Cheers,



Theresa
