[HERs (Historic Environment Records)|Glossary#HER|target='_blank'] developed out of [SMRs (Sites and Monuments Records)|Glossary#SMR|target='_blank']. SMRs were established from the 1960s onwards in response to the loss of the archaeological resource through urban and rural development. From their original remit of recording archaeological sites, they have been developed to encompass a wide range of information about the historic environment which has been reflected in the change of name from SMR to HER. Today they provide a unique information resource, forming the basis for sustainable conservation and playing an important role in informing public understanding and enjoyment of the local historic environment.
[HERs (Historic Environment Records)|Glossary#HER|target='_blank'] developed out of [SMRs (Sites and Monuments Records)|Glossary#SMR|target='_blank']. SMRs were established from the 1960s onwards in response to the loss of the archaeological resource through development. SMRs were developed in a fairly ad hoc manner. They were formed according to local circumstances, and as a result were created in different organisations - some in planning departments, some in Universities, and some in Museums. From their original remit of recording archaeological sites, they have been developed to encompass a wide range of information about the historic environment - including more about historic buildings and landscapes for example - and this has been reflected in the change of name from SMR to HER.

The information held in HER databases and collections thus provides a starting point for management processes, conservation, fieldwork and research into the historic environment and also informs local communities about their area. In turn, many of these activities generate new information which feeds back to HER managers in the form of reports and archives that are used to enhance the HER (Figure. 1).

HERs cover archaeological and historical features and finds, the activities of people involved in investigating the historic environment, sources of information about their areas and the conservation management process. However, in the same way that human activity varied from area to area in the past so too does the information contained in HERs today. This is partly a reflection of variations in past human activity and partly due to differences in the way in which individual HERs have developed, which is expanded on later in this section.

In general, HER databases contain information about all of the ancient and historic features and sites in both countryside and town that make up the historic landscape. They range in date from the earliest evidence for human activity to modern times. Many monuments and features survive in visible form, and both enrich the public's appreciation of the contemporary landscape and contribute to tourism. Other remains lie buried but can provide valuable enlightenment for this and future generations. Some sites are interpreted from place name or other evidence from maps and historic documents. In addition to this, coastal HERs include a wide range of sites and features reflecting the complex interaction between man and the sea, from remains of vessels to quays and harbours, inshore fisheries and shellfish cultivation as well as submerged landscapes. Individual HERs vary in the extent to which historic buildings, 20th-century structures, parks, gardens, landscapes and finds are represented in their records, but the scope of each should be clearly set out in a recording policy.
