HeritageSubscribeSubscribe to Retrospective, the official Heritage newsletter The City of Ottawa's heritage is one of its most important assets. Our stories and material evidence of our development are preserved, researched and told through local archives, museums, historical and archaeological sites, cemeteries, historical gardens, commemorations, libraries, programs and events, walking tours, galleries, memorials, and architectural legacy. Preserving our unique heritage is a key to defining our identity, and promotes a sense of community and understanding of our roots. It is up to all of us as a community to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to appreciate the colourful saga of our collective story. Visit the Billings Estate Virtual Exhibit Web site, created by the City of Ottawa Archives.
