Maps of Memory: Using Digital Methods to Explore Halifax Heritage and Heritage Resource Attrition

There can be no mistaking that Halifax is a rapidly changing city. Our urban fabric is being remade before our eyes. Accounting for built heritage assets is especially important in these times for, as is often said, "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it."
Only a fraction of Halifax's oldest buildings enjoy even limited protection from demolition. Where are the others? Our research brings traditional, archival methods into the digital environment, using geographic information systems (GIS) and artificial intelligence (AI) to create new tools for inventorying, studying, and interpreting historic Halifax.
We invite you to join us for a highly illustrated and interactive talk and discussion with members of the Memory Maps team.
