History
The Arts, Heritage and Libraries Division of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation was formed in 1981 from the merging of the Heritage Conservation Division, Information Access Division, and Culture Division of the same Ministry.
The Division consisted of six branches: Arts Services Branch, Archaeology and Heritage Planning Branch, Heritage Administration Branch, Heritage Trust, Cultural Industries Branch, and Libraries and Community Information Branch. In addition, the Division provided administrative support to the Ontario Heritage Foundation, and was responsible for the Huronia Historical Parks and Old Fort William.
On April 1st, 1982 the Division became part of the new Ministry of Citizenship and Culture. In mid-1983 the Division was replaced with the Culture and Regional Services Division.
