History
The Archaeological Conservation Section (originally named the Archaeological Planning Section) was established in 1975 as part of the Historical Planning and Research Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation.
In 1981 the Historical Planning and Research Branch became part of the new Arts, Heritage and Libraries Division and was renamed the Archaeology and Heritage Planning Branch. With this change, the Archaeological Planning Section was re-named the Archaeological Conservation Section.
In early 1982, the Archaeology and Heritage Planning Branch, including the Archaeological Conservation Section, was transferred to the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture. Later in 1982, however, the Archaeology and Heritage Planning Branch, the Heritage Administration Branch, and Heritage Trust were merged to form the new Heritage Branch. With this change, the functions of the Archaeological Conservation Section were assumed by the Archaeology Unit.

Functions, occupations and activities
The Archaeological Conservation Section administered a number of responsibilities which originated in the Ontario Heritage Act of 1974. The Section administered licences for archaeological work, designated property of archaeological or historical significance, and advised the Minister to place stop work orders on development in order to protect sites. The Section also provided staff support to the Ontario Heritage Foundation for such functions as administration, auditing and monitoring archaeological expenditures, policy and programme development and implementation, and in conjunction with the Archaeological Research Section, studied Foundation properties of archaeological value. Finally, the Section maintained an archaeological sites data base for Ontario, which included site reports, maps, photographs, and site record forms.
