The record contains nearly 35,000 records of archaeological sites and finds, historic buildings and landscapes. The database and mapping are available online and there is also an extensive library of unpublished fieldwork reports and photographs (including aerial photos) which can be consulted at the Somerset Heritage Centre in Taunton, which also holds Somerset archives and local studies library.
