Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Register
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Register (VAHR), is a list of all known Aboriginal cultural heritage places in Victoria, Australia.[1]
The VAHR is regulated under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006,[2] and administered by the Office of Aboriginal Affairs Victoria, in some instances through delegation to Registered Aboriginal Parties.[3]
The VAHR evolved from the original Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Office, following the enactment of the Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Preservation Act 1972.[4] It includes approximately 35,000 archaeological sites, historic Aboriginal places and Aboriginal objects.[5]
