Historic Environment Record
The Historic Environment Record (HER) became the responsibility of MEAS during 2014 on behalf of the Merseyside Boroughs (Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St.Helens and Wirral Councils). The HER has been developed with Council funding and grant income from Historic England with the objective to ensure that the HER provides up-to-date information with easy digital access. The HER can provide volunteering opportunities for those wishing to improve their skills and knowledge.
