History
The Canadian Conference on Historical Resources (CCHR) is a non-profit association of federal and provincial government agencies responsible for or concerned with the protection and maintenance of historic sites and heritage property. It was formed in 1961, and was known until 1969 as the "Conference on the Development of Canada's Historical Resources". Its primary purpose is to act as an information exchange mechanism in the heritage field. While primarily a federal-provincial inter-governmental body, it permits representation from government agencies such as the National Archives, and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. -- The Conference meets at least annually and consists of senior heritage managers from each member provincial, territorial and federal government body. One liaison officer is appointed for each member government, and each member government can send up to six senior government administrators as delegates. In 1982 the Inter provincial Heritage Council was formed of provincial liaison officers to act as an advisory council to the Conference.
