The University of Waterloo's Heritage Resources Centre has developed the Canadian Built Heritage Research Inventory available online at:

http://fesdevtest.uwaterloo.ca/hrcresearch/index.php?

It is a "work-in-progress" database highlighting research on built heritage in Canada.

The site is searchable, interactive and flexible. Searches can be made by author, title, keyword, reference type (book, article etc.) or all fields.
The public is invited to contribute annotations or commentaries on the titles found and are encouraged to tell us about new information that they feel should appear on the inventory. New titles and annotations received from users will be added to the database.

While currently there are non-Canadian titles included the eventual goal is for this site to provide primarily Canadian sources that are not easily found on other databases such as the US National Trust for Historic Preservation, or the Getty Institute.

The inventory is growing, and to date includes 775 titles from a broad range of sources. However, we are looking to broaden the scope of resources in the inventory.  Does anyone in the Canadian heritage community have references to share? Do you know of any recent Canadian research published?

Thank you,
