The Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties is a research and documentation instrument that serves as an archive of information to further the understanding of the State’s architectural, archeological, and cultural resources. To date, the MIHP is comprised of nearly 90,000 resources, composed of archaeological sites, building, structures, objects and survey districts. A Maryland Inventory form provides a description of historic resource and discusses its history, but the MIHP is not a regulatory instrument, and the determination of a resource’s historic significance is not a requirement for inclusion. Maryland State law provides elsewhere for mechanisms – separate from the MIHP – giving both the State and local jurisdictions the authority to regulate appropriately designated historic resources. The Maryland Inventory should not be confused with the National Register of Historic Places, the Maryland Register of Historic Properties, or local lists of locally designated historic resources, although resources listed in all of the above categories are included in the Maryland Inventory.

Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA) specifies that a Register of Aboriginal sites must be maintained. Under current arrangements the Register of Aboriginal sites is held and maintained at the Department of Indigenous Affairs with the use of an online Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System.

Museum Victoria is a multidisciplinary museum in Melbourne, Australia with three public venues – Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks and the Immigration Museum. The museum’s collection dates back to 1854 and comprises natural sciences (including zoological, palaeontological, and geological specimens) and humanities (including indigenous cultures, history and technology collections). The museum cares for an estimated 17 million items, many of which are grouped together as a single entry in the electronic cataloguing system. The MV Collections website provides access to over 1.15 million records, representing items in the Humanities collection; specimens in the Sciences collection; articles written about significant people, places and parts of the collection; and species profiles written about animals that can be observed in the wild. A search may deliver results across items, species, specimens or article records. Results can be refined by adding a new search term to the existing query, or by using the supplied filters. The million plus records are illustrated by over 170,000 images, videos and sounds. We wish to encourage reuse and sharing of content.

The government, through its Minister of Culture and Communications, can classify a heritage asset, that is to say a building, a site, a document, an object or a heritage complex. Classification makes it possible to recognize the heritage value of the property, to ensure its protection, and to promote its knowledge and transmission to future generations.¹ The Ministry of Culture and Communications makes available some of its data concerning heritage sites classified by the Minister (formerly historic sites and archaeological sites classified or recognized). These elements of real estate heritage are part of the heritage protected under the Cultural Heritage Act (L.R.Q., c. 21) and are registered in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Register. These elements and all related information can be found in the Répertoire du Patrimoine Culturel du Québec. www.patrimoine-cultur.gouv.qc.ca Note that each of the classified heritage sites is represented by a polygon delimiting its perimeter. A version represented in the form of points locating the site on the territory is also available. These locations are provided for information purposes only and, therefore, have no legal effect. Refer to the Cultural Heritage Register, maintained at the Ministry by the Registrar of Cultural Heritage, for legal information. 1: https://www.quebec.ca/culture/patrimoine-archeologie/proteger/statuts/types-statuts/classement**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
