Help Safeguard Canada’s Cultural Heritage

Expert conservators work every day to protect the art, artifacts, and historic places that shape our diverse cultural identities. From Indigenous cultural belongings to archival records, from historic architecture to contemporary art, these treasures connect us to our past and inspire our future.

The Canadian Association for Conservation of Cultural Property (CAC-ACCR) is a federally-registered charitable not-for-profit organization that promotes responsible preservation of the cultural property that gives Canadians a sense of place, of history, and of artistic expression. As a volunteer run organization the CAC-ACCR uses 100% of your donation to serve individual and institutional members by providing opportunities for networking, professional development, advocacy, and information dissemination.
