In England records of the historic urban cores of modern towns have been developed by local government archaeology services or contracting units under an [English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'] programme that involves resource identification, database development and the preparation of a management strategy. The database element of this programme is a specific type of HER, similar in content to a ‘normal' HER but generally including additional detail about stratified urban deposits. Some UAD projects enhance part of an existing HER rather than operating as a new, separate database. Once strategies for managing the urban archaeological resource have been prepared, the UAD should either be integrated into the HER for the area or maintained separately as an HER and brought up to the 1st stage HER benchmark as a minimum with an agreement with other HERs in the area as to who maintains the record for the town/city in question to avoid duplication. A map showing the towns covered by UADs is available on the [Historic England web site|http://www.historicengland.org.uk/research/current-research/discovery/landscapes-and-areas/characterisation/townscape-character/|target='_blank'].

[English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'] has established local offices to provide a local base for ancient monuments inspectors and historic buildings advisors. Each HER is covered by a designated ancient monuments inspector who provides a first point of contact for conservation advice and information about [English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'] projects and programmes. The [English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'] regional offices have also established regional historic environment fora. These have a broad membership of public, voluntary and private bodies to provide a clear focus for historic environment issues, for example contributing to regional ‘State of the Historic Environment' reports. There are no regional offices of [Historic Scotland|Glossary#Historic Scotland|target='_blank'], but both the listed building and the ancient monuments inspectorate are organised on an area basis. There are no regional offices in Wales.

[English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'] curates a wide range of information and archive collections relating to the historic environment and makes them available to the public. This includes the National Record of the Historic Environment ([NRHE|Glossary#NRHE|target='_blank']), a national database of monuments, buildings and maritime sites linked to a GIS system. It contains entries for over 400,000 monuments and 80,000 events. The English Heritage Archive also curates a collection of over 2.5 million air photographs, some 3 million ground photographs, 32,000 books, 300,000 maps and a growing collection of plans, architectural drawings and reports.

The [HER Forum|Glossary#HER Forum|target='_blank'] exists to bring those with an interest in HERs together to exchange ideas and assist each other. It consists of an e-mail discussion list ([www.jiscmail.ac.uk/herforum|http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/herforum|target='_blank']), twice yearly meetings and published Historic Environment Records News now part of the [Heritage Gateway|Glossary#Heritage Gateway|target='_blank']. The HER Forum is chaired by one of its members and co-ordinated by Heritage Information Partnerships at [English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank']. Although originally set up by English Heritage for English HERs the forum has members representing Wales and Scotland as well as subscibers to the email list from other parts of the world. In Scotland the SMR Forum brings together national and local bodies with an interest in the development of HERs, and there is a separate email Scottish SMR discussion list which includes non-SMR members.

The ADS forms part of a distributed national electronic resource established with funding from the academic community to improve the accessibility of information resources to researchers. The ADS holds metadata catalogues which provide an index to databases held by HERs, the NMRs, [English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'] and others, and also holds digital archives deposited by field archaeology units and national organisations. Information collected by the ADS is available on the internet through ARCHSearch, a search tool which identifies sources of information and, in some cases, provides a link to databases posted on the internet by organisations such as the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland ([RCAHMS|Glossary#RCAHMS|target='_blank']), some HERs and thematic projects.
