Until recently, apart from a few pioneering HERs, most had limited resources to devote to widening use of their records. Since the Heritage Lottery Fund published a framework document ''Unlocking Britain's Past'' (HLF 1999) updated as ''Unlocking Our Past'' (English Heritage/ALGAO 2005) to guide HER bids with an emphasis on outreach, education and access projects the position has changed. Several HERs in England including Cheshire, Essex, Durham, Herefordshire, Kent, Northumberland, Somerset, and Warwickshire have been successful in securing HLF funding for such projects. In 2002-03, a proof of concept project, Accessing Scotland's Past ([http:\\www.accessingscotlandspast.org.uk]), was piloted between RCAHMS and two Scottish SMRs. Some HERs have also been able to take advantage of other government initiatives, such as the [New Opportunities Fund|http://www.nof.org.uk/](NOF) and the New Libraries Network. All these should enable greater public access to HERs, both directly through the provision of office space and computer access and remotely via libraries, record offices and the internet. The exciting and innovative projects that are now being developed should result in a broader awareness of HERs and their importance. Public interest and enthusiasm for the historic environment and conservation, partially developed through popular television programmes, is also being harnessed to develop a two-way flow of information between HERs and local people with an interest in learning more about, and recording, their local historic environment.
