How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

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. Parks Canada’s Directory of Federal Heritage Designations lists every National Historic Site, federal heritage building, heritage railway station and lighthouse; the Canadian Register of Historic Places adds their statements in English and French.
Protection. A place classified or cited under Québec’s law is protected; National Historic Site status alone protects only what the federal government owns.
The tiers. The highest designations are National Historic Sites, Classified Federal Heritage Buildings and Québec’s classements; then come the other federal designations; then provincial and local listings.
People and events. The open directory puts its national historic persons nowhere, so a town shows one only on firm ground: a birth there, matched by name and life years, or a historic place there named for the person whose record says so. Events are left out.
The grade. This page gives no grade; history doesn’t count toward a Canadian town’s letter.
