The archive consists of 78 hand-painted glass slides and 17 photographic glass lantern slides. Each slide measures 3.25 inches square. Digital scans were made using the following standards:

Details of source materials used to create the dataset

Primary sources include the Underhill Archive at the Institute of Archaeology: slides and early slide catalogues. Primary sources on Oxford Scientific Societies held in the Bodleian Library's Modern Papers Department and contemporary local newspapers in the Centre for Oxfordshire Studies were also consulted. Numerous secondary sources held in Oxford's libraries were used for background. Much of this is listed in the Select Bibliography on the web-site.

H.M.J. Underhill died in 1920 and more than 75 years have passed for copyright of his material to have expired. The institute of Archaeology (University of Oxford) owns the slides and holds the copyright on the electronic files.
