Stone cairns marked NHS's in the early- to mid-20th century.
The earliest NHS plaques feature elaborate frames.

This is a complete list of the National Historic Sites of Canada. All such designations are made by the federal Minister of the Environment on the advice of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada (HSMBC). As of August 2008, there are 958 sites, 158 of which are administered by Parks Canada. Parks Canada also administers some 42 National Parks. Nationwide, many of the sites are provincially, municipally or privately owned, and many of these are open to the public. Two of the 935 sites are located in France, found at the end of this list. This list uses official names as listed by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, not necessarily the colloquial name. Wherever possible, official names listed here are linked to pages with the colloquial name.

The HSMBC also nominates National Historic Persons and National Historic Events. These are not listed here (see External Links for the full list). Most National Historic Sites, Persons, and Events are marked by a federal plaque . Since 1919, these plaques have been erected on cairns built for that purpose (in the early years), attached to buildings, or on free-standing posts. These maroon and gold markers are typically in English and French, though some are trilingual, adding another language appropriate to the subject being commemorated. They always include Canada's coat of arms. More elaborate plaques have been cast for national historic districts which commemorate a collectivity of noteworthy buildings.
