Add article description

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 it included approximately 35,000 archaeological sites, historic Aboriginal places and Aboriginal cultural artefacts.[7]
