English Heritage (EH) has formally launched an online service that is designed to offer a searchable database of properties in its care, concentrating on exploring the history and significance of the sites and properties.
EH writes:
Portico is an online resource which explores the history and significance of the properties in the care of English Heritage, and provides a gateway to further sources of information about them.
Over the next five years we aim to cover every English Heritage property on Portico. Each entry will include:
- a concise history of the site
- a brief site description
- a summary of the site’s significance
- a guide to past, present and future research questions
- a list of primary and secondary sources for further study.
Access Portico and the full list of property documentation currently available at EH Archives
