There are two main routes for uploading data and images to the National Record of Scotland’s Historic Environment (Canmore):
UPLOading rock art Data
MyCanmore: this route enables anyone to add information and images to existing Canmore records. This information is not validated and does not go into the Canmore archive, but is displayed publicly on Canmore. You can register to upload data via MyCanmore here
Discovery and Excavation in Scotland (DES): this route is for anyone wishing to report a new discovery. New discoveries are published in the DES journal each year and added to Canmore annually. Images uploaded to DES are currently not displayed on Canmore, but this system is undergoing review and may change. You can register to upload data to DES here
If you would like some advice on how best to manage the data that you gather, particularly the digital images, you can find some suggestions in our Managing your Images guidance. You may also like to see our guidance on the quality (data standards) for the digital images you submit. You can find this in our File Formats and Sizes.
Every rock art record created during the five years of the Scotland’s Rock Art Project has been added to Historic Environment Scotland’s collections and made publicly accessible through Canmore, which is Scotland’s most comprehensive public record of archaeological, architectural and historical heritage.
