Résumé en anglais
In the Spring of 1985 the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, initiated a built-heritage inventory. The scope of the inventory was defined to include all buildings, sites and monuments pre-dating 1914, and exceptional examples post-dating 1914. The two purposes of the inventory were first to take stock of Nova Scotia's built-heritage, and second, to utilize the inventory process to develop within the public desire and ability to manage Nova Scotia's build-heritage resource.
