Index of subjects prepared for the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada
Parks Canada is in the early stages of preparing an index of subjects that have been considered by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. As a first step, the index focuses on a limited number of subjects, where thematic studies have been prepared.
Thematic studies written by Parks Canada staff and/or external researchers expand upon or explore themes and topics related to potential subjects for designation under the National Program of Historical Commemoration. These studies are presented in a range of formats that include, but are not limited to, commemorative analyses, framework studies, projects and biographies.
The studies date from the 1960s until the late 2010s. Some may contain outdated language or terminology, the absence of a significant layer of history or factual errors. They are considered working documents, and in many cases, are only available in one official language. To request material associated with a subject listed on the index, please contact the HSMBC Secretariat at Parks Canada at pc.clmhc-hsmbc.pc@canada.ca.
