Research guides

Practical starting points for working with archaeological records and institutions.

Finding U.S. heritage offices and archaeological records

Start with the place and the question, then choose the institution. A preservation office, a Tribal office, a repository and a local society serve different purposes.

Finding UK archaeological reports and heritage records

A useful research trail connects a place, its records and the underlying archive. Begin by separating a national heritage listing from a local record and from a project’s research data.

Finding an archaeological repository: a practical checklist

An object, a field notebook, photographs and a digital model may have different custodians. A good repository inquiry starts with the research question and the documentation already available.
