Abstract
Abstract. This contribution summarizes the collaboration between Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) and Heritage Standing in the use of digital technologies to document the Beinn Bhreagh Hall historic site (house and immediate surroundings) in Baddeck, Nova Scotia for its rehabilitation and protection. The project objectives were to develop a prototype for research and training using 3D scanning, and Building Information Modelling (BIM), as well as other emerging surveying tools to understand the state of conservation of Historic Places in Canada, providing relevant and appropriate information for their rehabilitation and maintenance. The vehicle of this research was the documentation and modelling of this important landmark, the summer home of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell in Victoria County, Nova Scotia. This unique 19thC building, currently under review for designated as a national historic site.

Summary
The recording of historic places requires an accurate reproduction of the subject and its context These statements have been already ascertained in particular from the very essence of heritage conservation charters, as for Article 2 on the Venice Charter (1964), which states, “the conservation and restoration of monuments must have recourse to all the sciences and techniques, which can contribute to the study and safeguarding of the architectural heritage.”. Digital technologies have revolutionized the speed and completeness in recording heritage places; these techniques offer a myriad of new opportunities for collecting, analyzing and disseminating information about heritage sites. With these new opportunities, there are conflicts, and an intense effort. The resulting BIM model was used for running emerging 3D techniques for evaluating the structural integrity and inherent sustainability of the building
