Systematic records of archaeological and historic monuments began to be created in 1908 when the Royal Commissions ([RCHME|Glossary#RCHME|target='_blank'], [RCAHMS|Glossary#RCAHMS|target='_blank'], [RCAHMW|Glossary#RCAHMW|target='_blank']) were set up and instructed to make an inventory of the ancient and historical monuments of their respective countries. For example, the warrant for the RCHME required the Commission 'to make an inventory of the Ancient Monuments and Constructions connected with or illustrative of the contemporary culture, civilisation and conditions of life of the people in England covering the period from the earliest time to the year 1700'. The remit also included identification of ‘those which seem most worthy of preservation' (RCHME 1992). In Scotland the cut-off date was initially set at 1707, the date of the union of the English and Scottish parliaments.
