The Online Archaeology Library
The Historic Environment and Archaeology Service has
a library with a comprehensive collection of books,
journals and other publications concerning the history and
archaeology of Worcestershire. These include a large
collection of 'grey literature' reports produced through the modern
development process. These often exist in only a few copies and
are, therefore, largely inaccessible to a general audience.
Access the Library
In order to use the catalogue you must agree to the statement
below
In using resources I will abide by the terms of the
Copyright and Liability Statement and the On-line Library Access
Agreement...
Please read the Copyright and Terms & Conditions of use
below.
Copyright
All reports that are produced via the development control
process are considered to be within the public domain. However,
copyright restrictions (particularly with regard to Ordnance Survey
mapping) or the inclusion of confidential or commercially sensitive
information means that not all reports can be made freely available
over the internet. Other reports have been excluded by request of
the copyright holder. The metadata for reports that cannot be
accessed online has been included, but you must visit either our
offices or Worcester City to view these reports.
The development of an online library can only be achieved if the
organisations that supply data can be assured that their own rights
are protected. Consequently, use of the library is covered by a
variety of legal instruments to protect us, our users and those who
supply data to us.
Terms and Conditions
The terms of use and access to the WHEAS on-line library

About the Library
The Online
Archaeology
Library provides a new means of access to
the majority of the 'grey literature' reports for Worcestershire
and a number of reports for related sites in surrounding counties.
It also includes reports from sites within the boundary of
Worcester City which are curated by Worcester City Council.
The reports are available as PDF files and you will need Adobe
Reader to access them. PDFs of older reports have been produced
from photocopies and are, therefore, not of the same quality as the
modern digital documents.
Can't find what you need?
The production of the Online Archaeology Library is an continual
process and we upload reports as they become available. If you are
searching for a particular report and cannot find it, please
