More than just artifacts and archives, heritage gives us a sense of self – a sense of who we are as Nova Scotians.
Heritage has a human face, and you’ll see faces of heritage in every community, from interpreters who make our past come to life to the curators who acquire, manage and conserve artifacts for the future.
You’ll see the faces of heritage in the inquisitive researchers who mine the fascinating stories of our past and put them into living context. You’ll see the faces of heritage in the educators who share our history with students, providing the keys of knowledge and understanding to these keepers of our province’s future.
Faces of heritage are all around us, from specially trained trades people who painstakingly restore old buildings to the architects, developers and planners who incorporate modern ideas of re-use while preserving the past. They are professionals, administrators, volunteers, and countless others who play a part in keeping our history alive.
Explore the many faces of our province’s rich heritage, and discover how we can work together to preserve our story for the Nova Scotia of tomorrow.
