The English Heritage Archive

The English Heritage Archive is the public archive of English Heritage, located in The Engine House on Fire Fly Avenue in Swindon, formerly the Swindon Works, next door to the National Trust HQ.

It is a public archive of architectural and archaeological records and holds over 12 million historic photographs, plans, drawings, reports, records and publications covering England's archaeology, architecture, social and local history. It is a dynamic collection, with records being added to this day.

The English Heritage Archive has been part of English Heritage since 1999, but its roots go back to 1908 and the foundation of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) which was set up to compile and publish an inventory of all ancient and historical monuments up to the year 1700 by county and by parish.
