About Heritage Services

Halton Region Heritage Services serves residents, researchers and community organizations through four key pillars of service:

• Share: Deliver heritage services to Halton residents and cultural heritage partners, with a focus on facilitating preservation of (and public access to) heritage across Halton through exhibitions, programming and research. 
• Network: Establish and implement a facilitative Halton Heritage Network that fosters capacity-building, collaboration and connectedness among local heritage organizations.
• Advise: Provide unique services and supports to build capacity among members of the Halton Heritage Network, ensuring the preservation of local history and culture.
• Preserve: Act as the steward of Halton Region's Historical Collections, including archives, photographs, objects, archaeological materials and a local history reference collection.
