A key information source for HERs is details of sites in their areas that are either under some form of statutory protection or that are registered as being of special interest or at risk. This information is maintained by [Historic England|Glossary#Historic England|target='_blank'] as part of its statutory functions ([Historic Scotland|Glossary#Historic Scotland|target='_blank'] and [CADW|Glossary#Cadw|target='_blank'] within their respective countries). HERs and Historic Buildings Records should all routinely receive paper notifications of changes and additions to schedulings or listings (in Scotland this information is supplied digitally by [Historic Scotland|Glossary#Historic Scotland|target='_blank']).

Historic Scotland provides a digital version (in Shape File format) of the Scheduled Ancient Monument designations for use within a GIS. This information provides an indication of the legally protected extent, the statutory designation remaining within the paper document. Listed building information is available via Pastmap (see below).
Historic Environment Scotland provides digital versions (in Shape File format) of all the designations datasets for use within a GIS. These can be downloaded from their [website|http://portal.historic-scotland.gov.uk/spatialdownloads], and includes Sheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Gardens and Designed Landscapes, Battlefields, Historic Marine Protected Areas, World Heritage Sites and Conservation Areas (on behalf of local authorities). These spatial datasets are also available as Web Services or as Atom Feeds.

Pastmap ([http://jura.rcahms.gov.uk/PASTMAP/start.jsp|http://jura.rcahms.gov.uk/PASTMAP/start.jsp]) is a map enabled query system for Scottish National Archaeological and Architectural Datasets (Listed Buildings, Scheduled Ancient Monuments, National Monuments Record of Scotland, Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes and some Sites and Monuments Records). This site, curated for the Scottish Ministers, is a partnership project between Historic Scotland and the RCAHMS, and also incorporates a dataset managed by Historic Scotland (Inventory of Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes).” Scottish Ministers have just transferred sole responsibility for compiling and maintaining the Inventory to HS. Pastmap is being further developed with the Scottish SMRs as active partners, and the site hosts GIS data from several SMRs, with a view to having full coverage within 3 years time. A link to HLA data is also available through this portal (See case study in [E.5.11|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionE.5#section-SectionE.5-E.5.11SolvingTheHLAInPlanningProblemAberdeenshireCaseStudy]).
Pastmap ([http://pastmap.org.uk/|http://pastmap.org.uk/]) provides free online access to map-based information about Scotland’s historic environment. It brings together data from project partners, including Historic Environment Scotland and local authority HERs, into a single web portal. It is operated by Historic Environment Scotland in partnership with local government archaeological curators, and includes information from an increasing variety of other sources.

In Scotland the [RCAHMS|Glossary#RCAHMS|target='_blank'] gathers maritime information centrally and distributes it to the relevant SMRs as part of the on-going data exchange programmes.

In addition to statutory datasets (SMs and LBs) noted above, these can include the results of projects such as the Portable Antiquities Scheme or large scale survey projects for example funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, [Historic England|Glossary#Historic England|target='_blank'] or Historic Scotland In the past individual HERs had little influence over the data structure of such digital sources, limiting their effective integration. Many HERs did not have the staff time to allow them to recast the data correctly, resulting in backlogs. This meant that the resources created by such projects were underused. This problem has been recognised and is now being addressed in England by greater consultation with the EH Data Standards Unit and HERs at the project planning stage and by the development of interoperability standards such as the FISH toolkit.

In Scotland in 2004 all Scottish SMRs, RCAHMS, Historic Scotland and the Scottish archaeological contracting units took a joint decision that reporting of archaeological events should conform to a standard form and procedure. The result is [ASPIRE|Glossary#ASPIRE|target='_blank'], an Archaeological Standard Protocol for the Integrated Reporting of Events. ASPIRE rigorously specifies data structure, data type and required fields for reporting new archaeological information to SMRs and the RCAHMS. This specification includes databases and GIS layers and encourages their use. From late 2005 the use of the ASPIRE protocol is enforceable via the development control process nationally as well as being a condition of grant/contract for HS funds. In addition its use is actively promoted and encouraged for non-commercial archaeological events such as academic and amateur surveys and excavations.
