In England records of the historic urban cores of modern towns were developed by local government archaeology services or contracting units under an [English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'] programme that involved resource identification, database development and the preparation of a management strategy, this is now the responsibility of [Historic England|Glossary#Historic England|target='_blank']. 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, 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'].

HERs should include information about listed and other non-listed historic buildings (for example those included in local lists, where these exist) and provide an integrated service for archaeology and the built environment in order to satisfy benchmark 2.1 of Benchmarks for Good Practice ([Chitty 2002|Bibliography#Chitty 2002|target='_blank']). However, many local planning authorities maintain separate Listed Buildings Records for use by their historic buildings conservation officers. These are often be paper-based records incorporating the lists published by the DCMS (England), Welsh Government through Cadw (Wales) or Historic Environment Scotland (Scotland) and files containing conservation and monitoring reports and details of buildings at risk surveys. Ideally conservation officers will use and contribute information to their local HER.

Records of the natural environment (including ecology, geology, biological species) have traditionally been maintained separately from records of the historic environment. A few local authorities have brought together archaeology, buildings and the natural environment to create integrated environment teams. Some HERs record palaeoenvironmental sites as monuments. In Scotland there is the Scottish Wetlands Archaeological Database, commissioned by Historic Scotland, which is not yet incorporated into the HERs ([http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/swad/|http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/swad/|target='_blank']).
