As in England the four Welsh Historic Environment Records had their origins in paper records in the 1970s, but from the early 1980s moved through various computer driven systems until the mid 2000s. In 2004 the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts, who curate the HERs, embarked on a collaborative venture to produce an open source, MIDAS compliant, web based database system, running in MySQL, having an integrated web GIS and image management system, to accommodate all four HERs. The software, which continues to develop, has an integrated public front end, accessible through the [Archwilio|http://www.archwilio.org.uk|target='_blank'] web site, and delivers HER data through an android app. The software has the advantage of general accessibility through any internet browser and no ongoing licensing costs. The system is now called [HEROS|http://heros.software|target='_blank'] (Historic Environment Record Open System).
