Every province has its own version of the HCA, so one must be aware of the provincial regulations specific to their work environment. Creating regulations for the conservation of heritage property in British Columbia started back in the 1860s. At that time, archaeological processes were focused on colonial regulations and were not developed in consultation with First Nations. In the 1960s, new regulations were created, but collaboration with First Nations was still absent. Following the rise of cultural resource management in the early 1970s, the first version of the HCA we know today was written in 1977 and is currently administered by the BC Archaeology Branch.
