"Informing the Future of the Past: Guidelines for SMRs" edited by Kate
Fernie and Paul Gilman, price now £10.00

Sites and Monuments Records are the primary source of information on the
historic environment in England. They are fundamental to the conservation
and management of the historic environment through the statutory planning
system. They are also an increasingly valuable resource for education and
the public enjoyment and understanding of the nation's heritage. There are
more than a hundred different SMRs in England and this manual provides a set
of working guidelines appropriate to all SMRs, large and small, and is
essential reading for all staff, volunteers and students interested in
managing, running or supporting an SMR. The manual, produced in a
partnership between English Heritage, the Association of Local Government
Archaeological Officers and the Archaeology Data Service:
*       Provides an overview of the standards, services and systems in place
in SMRs 
*       Includes case studies to illustrate recording practices and best
working practices. 
*       Is intended to provide a platform for training and continuous
professional development
