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

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hey Thersa (and the listserv folks in case some folks are having similar issues),

How do we update our listing? The Museum of Vancouver has bee branded as the Museum of Vancouver since 2009 and the old name (Vancouver Museum) is still listed on this site. This is woefully out of date and may cause confusion for potential visitors. Let me know what we can do to fix it.

Thanks!

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

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<mailto:heritage at gov.bc.ca>.

Cheers,

Theresa
