Modelling Saskatchewan's Built Heritage by ahsk.ca
Thanks to volunteers in Saskatchewan and from as far away as Ontario, Newfoundland and Australia, several hundred heritage buildings now appear on Google Earth. Modelling Project coordinator, Gregg Babish, avocetgeo@gmail.com hopes that other people will consider learning to model and post buildings. It is not difficult to do. The Society supports this project because it represents another way in which our province's built heritage can be demonstrated and preserved. That's our job. There were over 3,000 grain elevators in Saskatchewan in 1930. By 2004, there were less than 200. Why not work to preserve this important part of our history. Modeller Julio Signorelli has posted more that 300 buildings in Saskatchewan communities on Google Earth. Here is his now growing collection of elevators: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=741deed0d923ee0554cecbd9722c1db6
