Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeology Service

Description

The Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeology Service maintains the region's Historic Environment Record, a database of more than thirty thousand entries covering archaeological sites, monuments and historic buildings across Dumfries and Galloway. It sits within the council's planning function, supplies data extracts from the record, and holds statutory duties around information access and data protection. Its data also feeds the national Historic Environment Scotland mapping portal, and it publishes its own online mapping viewer, the Historic Environment Viewer. Access to the record is charged for commercial enquiries, and the service states that it may be granted without charge to researchers and students at its discretion.
