How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Protection. Here the register is also the protection: classement and citation under Québec’s cultural heritage law control changes, while federal recognition does not.
  • The tiers. Three tiers: the top for National Historic Sites, classified federal buildings and Québec’s classements, a second for the other federal designations, a third for provincial and municipal listings.
  • Map points. Parks Canada publishes no coordinates, so federal places are pinned where Wikidata puts them.
  • Québec’s register. Québec is the one province whose register is open: classements, declarations and municipal citations, described by the ministry in French.
  • 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.
  • The grade. History is described, not graded, for every Canadian town.
  • 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.
