RCAHMW Launch Coflein


At last this excellent resource is officially available! Here is the Press Release from the RCAHMW:
What is COFLEIN?
Coflein is the online database for the National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW) - the national collection of information about the historic environment of Wales.
The name is derived from the Welsh cof (memory) and lein (line).

Coflein contains details of many thousands of archaeological sites, monuments, buildings and maritime sites in Wales, together with an index to the drawings, manuscripts and photographs held in the NMRW archive collections. Sites can be displayed on Ordnance Survey maps and ordered geographically, as well as by text queries. The data can be searched by location (place-name, area or Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 map sheet), by type (the classification or function of a site, monument or building) or by keyword.
