Public Access & Search Facilities

Public Access
We welcome enquiries about the historic environment of northeast and mid-Wales. These can be made by letter, telephone, fax and email. All enquirers are asked to complete a request form for our records, these are available on request. Alternatively, a request for information can be made via the Historic Environment Record Enquiry Form page enquiry form. For administrative purposes and to prevent misuse of information we ask all users to tell us why they are enquiring, and to agree to our terms and conditions of access (see the Welsh Archaeological Trusts' Access and Charging policy).

When a request form is faxed to the HER the enquirer should also telephone to confirm that the fax has been received.

Once compiled, information will be passed to the enquirer by the most suitable means, electronically by email, or by post. Material can be collected from CPAT's offices by arrangement.
