The Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) is the most comprehensive available index to Herefordshire’s historic environment. It is an integral part of the county archaeological service (Herefordshire Archaeology), maintaining over 31,000 records relating to the historic environment. The SMR consists of a paper and computerised record of all known archaeological and historic sites in Herefordshire, and spans the full range of human activity in the county, from earliest prehistory through to the 20th century. It aims to record everything significant about the historic environment, from a prehistoric burial mound, to a medieval town, to a railway line or important Victorian house. Records have been drawn from a wide variety of sources, including reports of archaeological fieldwork, books, journal articles, maps (including historic maps), aerial photographs, national lists and registers, student dissertations and field observations from antiquarian and modern recorders. New records are regularly added.
The SMR includes textual data in a computerised database, and spatial data both on paper maps and in digital form on a Geographic Information System (GIS). The SMR also holds supporting paper, map-based and photographic information, including site-specific paper files, photocopies of historic maps, a small library, some colour slides and a substantial aerial photograph collection. This information is publicly accessible at the SMR office, and much of it is also accessible through our website .
The Herefordshire SMR is located in Blueschool House, Blueschool Street, Hereford. As Blueschool House is not open to the public, visits to the SMR can be made by appointment only; telephone 01432 260130 to make an appointment. At least 24 hours’ notice is required for an appointment. The SMR is normally staffed from Monday to Thursday each week, plus alternate Fridays.
