Humber Historic Environment Record

Search Humber HER

There are 3 main ways to search the Humber HER.

You can find us on the Heritage Gateway. The searchable records on the Heritage Gateway provide a basic index to the more detailed information that we hold. They provide a good starting point for information.

Digital searches can be provided on request. These can be provided in a variety of formats. They can be used to identify records within a particular parish, defined search area, or records of a particular archaeological period, for example.

For commercial searches, access our charging policy.
