Just had a quick look at this list. Not really at all comprehensive -
some of the organisations listed under the English list would not
normally be defined as SMRs or HERs. Others link to information ABOUT
the HER rather than allowing access to online HER data.
I will be compiling a list from the results of the HER Content &
Computing Survey which should be comprehensive for English HERs online
and can happily post this to the list (and put a copy in the HER Forum
File store as well for future reference).
Regards
Bruce

Subject: Online SMRs/HERs
Dear all
Can someone tell me whether the following list of online SMRs/HERs is
up-to-date, or whether there are any new additions.
Aberdeenshire
Durham
Essex
Herefordshire
Highland
Somerset
As some of you will know, this enquiry relates to an assignment I set
as
part of the heritage management course I teach at Southampton
University.
For information this requires students - from the online resources
alone -
to assess three SMRs/HERs. The remainder of the task is currently
worded
thus:
"1 Write a short (400 word) critique of three selected HERs, noting
which
are good and which are less good, giving reasons. Factors might
include
user-friendliness, the ease of comparing HER data with other sources
of
information held on-line by the county (eg. information on historic
buildings, and natural environment records), the availability of
aerial
photographs allowing the reader to view monuments in landscape
context,
and
the basic quantity and quality of information about individual sites
and
monuments. How could even the better of these HERs be improved?
Then:
2 Look at just one of the three HERs you have selected. Choose a
single
class of monument within it (eg. hillforts, monasteries, Roman roads)
and:
a) Write a short (400 word) review describing its distribution
within
the county, the state of preservation, diversity of form etc. as well
as any
limitations in the data: what information did the HER not provide; and
b) Outline very briefly (200 words) how useful HERs are for
archaeological research. Do you think they are useful as the basis for
undergraduate dissertations for example?"
I'd welcome any views on this, and on whether any improvements can be
made.
Thanks.
John
