Since 1978, the NMR (England) has been compiling its Excavation Index, which currently holds records for over 76,000 archaeological interventions in England. These include interventions dating from the earliest episodes of scientific archaeology to the present day (see C.7.3). Information has been collected from a variety of sources (including HERs) and combines bibliographic recording with direct input from reports, recording forms and microfilm archives. The scope of the Index covers both invasive (excavation, evaluation, watching brief) and non-invasive (geophysical survey, desk-based assessment, field-walking and measured survey) methods of investigation. The Index provides both a record of the event that has taken place and acts as a signpost to the archaeological features identified and the associated documentary and archive sources. Since 1998 a sub-set of the Index has been made available on the internet (Figure 27) via the ADS Catalogue (see [http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/]).
