List of heritage registers explained

This list is of heritage registers, inventories of cultural properties, natural and human-made, tangible and intangible, movable and immovable, that are deemed to be of sufficient heritage value to be separately identified and recorded. In many instances the pages linked below have as their primary focus the registered assets rather than the registers themselves. Where a particular article or set of articles on a foreign-language Wikipedia provides fuller coverage, a link is provided.

Federal

National Historic Sites of Canada

Provincial

- - Sites owned and run by the provincial government as a functioning historic site or museum are known as Provincial Historic Sites and Provincial Historic Areas. Buildings and sites owned by private citizens and companies or other levels or branches of government may gain one of two levels of historic designation, "Registered Historic Resource" or "Provincial Historic Resource".^[19] Historic designation in Alberta is governed by the Historic Resources Act.^[20] The province also lists buildings deemed historically significant by municipal governments on the Alberta Register of Historic Places, which is also part of the larger Canadian Register of Historic Places although this does not imply provincial or federal government status or protection.^[21] The Alberta Main Street Program helps to preserve historic buildings in the downtowns of smaller communities.^[22] The Heritage Survey Program is a survey of 80,000 historic buildings in Alberta, with no protective status.^[23]
  - Historic sites in British Columbia may be added to that province's register of historic places under section 18 of the Heritage Conservation Act.^[24]
  - Places and areas designated under the Heritage Conservation Act (the New Brunswick Register of Historic Places acts as a register of sites designated under the Act)^[25]

See main article: article, Listed building and Scheduled monument.

See also historic environment records (HERs) and sites and monuments records (SMRs), maintained usually at a local government level (archaeological trusts in Wales).

Other Associated States or Territories

Although not part of the United Kingdom itself, these are self-governing states or territories with strong ties to the British Crown or the United Kingdom, often putting defence and foreign relations in to their hands while handling all other matters internally. All have the British Monarch as their head of state.

Crown Dependencies

The Crown Dependencies are three states which are possessions of the Crown, geographically in the British Isles or the Channel Islands.

Overseas Territories

The British Overseas Territories (also known as the "United Kingdom Overseas Territories") are the last remnants of the British Empire. There are fourteen total, however, not all of these have heritage registers.

: National Trust for the Cayman Islands
: Ministry for Heritage together with the Gibraltar Heritage Trust

United States

In the United States, a site is only listed on the National Register of Historic Places on recommendation from the state historic preservation offices in the relevant state. Some states maintain their own state-level historic registers, although in some U.S. states all properties on the state register duplicate the National Register listing. The National Register listing in itself confers no protection to a historic property but may qualify the site for matching grants for historic restoration. Local historic designations in many municipalities provide some limited protection against demolition of historic landmarks.
