There's an area of Britain I'm really interested in. What would you advise is the best way to get geological, archaeological, tidal, climate change/ erosion, old maps etc.. information on it? Is there a set of methods/ routes I can follow? Is ti just through the local museums/ archives? They are really split up. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSources of information are generally quite split up. The local authority Records Office and Historic Environment Record would be the best starting point in terms of archaeological data, historic records and maps etc. Geological and ecological information at a local level can often be more difficult to pin down; there may be a local amateur natural history society that can often be a good source (as well as archaeological and local history societies), otherwise Natural England http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ or British Geological Society http://bgs.ac.uk/
