How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

Protection. In Québec, a classement or a municipal citation under the Loi sur le patrimoine culturel protects the building in law; a federal designation recognises significance and binds only federal owners.
The grade. There is no history grade: the page sets out the record and compares it with other towns.
The tiers. Tiers follow the designation: national recognition and classement first, other federal designations next, provincial and local listings last.
People and events. National historic persons carry no place in the open file. They appear on a town’s page when born there (same name, same birth and death years) or when a historic place inside it carries their name and its record names them with their dates; national historic events don’t appear.
The federal register. The federal list is complete and open: Parks Canada’s directory for the designations, the Canadian Register of Historic Places for what each one is and why it matters.
Québec’s register. Québec is the one province whose register is open: classements, declarations and municipal citations, described by the ministry in French.
