11 August 2009

A national online database that holds information on and images of more than 280,000 of Scotland’s buildings and built archaeology opens its files today so that members of the public can add their own knowledge directly to its archives.

RCAHMS is the national collection of images and items about Scotland’s built heritage. The Edinburgh-based organisation maintains a searchable website allowing interested people quick access to archive materials about the built heritage throughout Scotland, ranging from ancient archaeological sites to the latest architectural ventures.
