BACKGROUND
Rossland’s Heritage Home Inventory dates back to 1983 when it was undertaken by 2 summer school students with guidance from the Heritage Commission of that time. Pictures of the homes accompany as much information about the buildings as could be gathered, using a consistent format (template). The finished work is available in hard copy only at the Museum and the Library. The information has not been updated since 1983 so in order to facilitate updating, the Inventory needs to be produced in an electronic format which will simplify management of the data, and will ensure wider circulation and usage of the Inventory.
