Beyond adminstering these sites, the Foundation is responsible for the provincial collection of more than 90,000 artifacts. Our staff provide professional conservation and collection services to outside groups, individuals and organizations.
PEI Museum Heritage Awards
We celebrate Heritage Day the third Tuesday each February with PEI Museum and Heritage Awards presented to individuals or groups in recognition of architecture, writing, architectural preservation, genealogy, and general heritage activities.
