Planning a Special Places Project Special Places Projects The Community Heritage Site Inventory A Community Heritage Site Inventory is the first important step in a Special Places project. A typical inventory will include scores of buildings and sites – a small community may have 50 places recorded; larger communities might have more than 100 buildings noted. It is important at this stage of the Special Places project that judgements about significance be suspended – an inventory should be inclusive and impartial, so that all information is available for analytical purposes at later stages of the project. By first conducting an inventory, a community ensures that the benefits of designation are conferred only on the most deserving structures, and that buildings with important heritage value are not lost before they can be identified as significant. Other important steps in the development of an architectural education program, including research on individual buildings and building evaluations, will greatly benefit from the work done for an inventory. Products - Handsome binders highlighting the community’s potential heritage sites - Ready-to-use texts (for promotional and tourism opportunities - walking tours, plaques, websites, etc.) - Digitized texts and photographs for easy use by municipality, museum, schools, etc. Any Questions? |
