Heritage Canada Foundation's AGORA-L

A new way to connect and protect

What is AGORA-L?

AGORA-L is a free email-based tool for discussion and exchange about heritage conservation in Canada. Connect with peers across the country and share issues, questions and solutions without ever leaving your desk. No need to memorize a new password or log onto a website. Messages will come directly to your inbox. You can help make AGORA-L a source of success stories, conservation resources, and advice from colleagues who've faced similar projects and challenges.
