From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Register (VAHR), is a list of all known
Aboriginal cultural heritage places in
Victoria, Australia.
[1] It was established by and is regulated under the
Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006.
[2]
[3]
[4] The Register is administered by the
Office of Aboriginal Affairs Victoria, in some instances through delegation to
Registered Aboriginal Parties.
[5]
The VAHR evolved from the original Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Office, established by the
Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Preservation Act 1972.
[6]
As of 2013
[update] it included approximately 35,000
archaeological sites, historic Aboriginal places and Aboriginal
cultural artefacts.
