The Warwickshire Historic Environment Record
The Historic Environment Record (HER) - formerly the Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) - is a record of all the historic and archaeological sites and finds within the county. Accessed through a computer and map based system, the record incorporates a wide range of sources, including aerial photographs, published and unpublished material, and historic and modern maps.
Functions of the HER - what do we do?
The HER has a number of functions:
- To maintain and enhance the record of historic and archaeological sites
- To operate a public information service
- To provide information to planning archaeologists and consultants, government bodies such as English Heritage, forestry and agricultural bodies, the public utilities, local research groups, landowners and developers.
- To actively promote local archaeology to the community through lectures, open days, organised events and talks.
