Contact List for Heritage Experts The following list has been assembled so that persons affected by the flood have contact information for individuals and companies which specialize in heritage properties. We do not have first hand experience with all of them and cannot certify or endorse them, but are making their contact information available. The list is not exhaustive and we hope to expand it for future use beyond the flood aftermath, so please provide any additions or corrections to me at Marilyn Williams at [email protected].
Before undertaking any work, take a moment to read this important message from the Historic Resources Management Branch of the Province of Alberta, http://albertashistoricplaces.wordpress.com/2013/07/09/after-the-flood/ . For the most part it will be important to takes things slowly and make informed decisions. For other useful information related to addressing places affected by flooding, refer to the link at http://www.calgaryheritage.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=3765#p3765 . It includes advice on what to do when first returning to a flooded home, resources for property owners complied by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, resources from the Alberta Museums Association, information about Creative Restoration which offers disaster-relief services, advice from the Glenbow and others on salvaging photos, the Calgary Public Library's Flood Recovery Booklist, and useful information from the Canadian Conservation Institute for salvaging personal valuables.
