HEROS Data Management System

HEROS is a powerful and sophisticated online heritage data management system providing secure, controllable access to heritage asset data. HEROS was developed by the Welsh Archaeological Trusts on a not-for-profit basis and is used by a growing community of data managers across the UK.  Using open-source software, HEROS enables recording and analysis of traditional data alongside digital mapping, images and documents. Data managed using HEROS can be accessed via websites and apps and can be exported in a variety of formats. HEROS comes as a package of core and optional features; users decide which, if any, optional features to disable once the system is installed.
