Standard and Guide to Best Practice for Archaeological Archiving in Europe

In 2008, the Europae Archaeologiae Consilium (EAC) decided to examine the question of archiving archaeological documentation. The working group created by the EAC following that decision brought together several specialists from a number of member countries and secured the establishment of the ARCH:ES project supported by the Culture Programme 2007-2013 of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency of the European Union.
The ARCH:ES (Archaeological Resources in Cultural Heritage – a European Standard) project ran from June 2012 till May 2014 and has published "A Standard and Guide to Best Practice in Archaeological Archiving in Europe". 
The Guide is available in 7 languages and can be downloaded for free here. For the English PDF publication, please follow this link.

For more information on the project, you can also visit the general ARCHES website. Any questions or
comments can be addressed to the ARCHES address: arches[at]e-a-c.org or to the ICAHM vice presidency for Europe: Cynthia.dunning[at]archaeoconcept.com
