Users can now delve into Scotland\u2019s heritage with the platform, which brings together millions of HES\u2019s unique and diverse collections of information, images, video, spatial data and archival material in one convenient place for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From standing stones to skate parks, trove.scot contains over 5,000 years of Scotland\u2019s history in approximately three million records, combining designation records of Scotland\u2019s most important historic sites and buildings; the catalogue of Scotland\u2019s archaeology and built heritage; over 2,000 culturally significant objects from HES\u2019s properties; and educational and archival images and media from SCRAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>trove.scot will make this wealth of information more accessible than ever before, providing an exciting new resource for hobbyists, educators, historians and heritage professionals alike. Using filters, keyword and map searches, users can now unearth a range of detail from HES\u2019s different sources in a single search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katerina Brown, Chief Executive of HES, said: \u2018We are excited to be bringing heritage even closer to people\u2019s everyday lives with this new platform. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trove.scot\/\">trove.scot<\/a> will make it easier to learn about the heritage and historic environment that surrounds you, whether that is the listed buildings on your street or archive images of historic events that shaped communities\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 \u2018We hope that by making the vast store of information we hold more accessible, trove.scot will encourage more people to dig into Scotland\u2019s past and see what they can discover with the new platform. Of course, the launch is just the beginning, and we\u2019ll continue working hard behind the scenes to bring more exciting innovations to service.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.historicenvironment.scot\/about-us\/news\/unlock-scotland-s-past-with-trovescot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trove.scot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trove.scot<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>image for illustration: Fiona Newton You can explore millions of records online now as Historic Environment Scotland (HES) has unveiled new website to access its collections, archives, images and information: trove.scot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[74,265,266,18,29,267,115,83],"class_list":["post-42275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog","tag-archaeology","tag-archive","tag-collections","tag-conservation","tag-heritage","tag-images","tag-resource","tag-scotland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=42275"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42275\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42276,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42275\/revisions\/42276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=42275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=42275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=42275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
