Publication Summary

January 3rd 2006: Heritage Marketing & Publications Launches Enhanced Website

Over the last six months things have been really busy at Heritage Marketing & Publications, background work on the further development of the business together with the re-launch of the website and which now for the first time shows customers of the business how we support and finance archaeological research in West Norfolk.

With this re-launch has also come some important enhancements: - we can now supply all in-print titles on the subject - giving us a total at the present time of just over 125,000 different titles available on the subject. That's not all, soon this will be over 150,000.

Publishing work is also increasing and we expect to bring to the market around twenty new titles this year.

Also coming soon, a new way of publishing PhD's - watch out for further information on this over the next four weeks - HMP Research Series.

November 29th 2005: New in-house bespoke database management system implemented

We have just implemented a new in-house bespoke database management system developed by Access Business Solutions. This will improve efficiency while also allowing us to further develop more pro-actively new markets and enhance our current operations.  This has been an in-process development. We decided to go down the route of having a custom built system as there was nothing that we could purchase off the shelve that would handle the criteria for the system we wanted.  We are also now considering the possibility of having our own website server due to the increased traffic and the expansion of our on-line database to over 110,000 different available titles.

November 21st 2005: Heritage Marketing and Publications purchases Bartington 601 Dual Gradiometer

Your continued business has helped us purchase a magnetometer to sponsor more archaeological research in East Anglia. With the recent purchase of a Bartington 601 dual Gradiometer, Heritage Marketing and Publications is soon to promote and conduct what may amount to one of the largest landscape magnetometer surveys in the country in the Nar Valley, West Norfolk.  There have already been five seasons of resistance survey and selective fieldwalking and excavation, supported by Heritage Marketing and Publications in the valley revealing a complex pattern of settlement from the Bronze Age to the present.

With the experience and results from this survey, and as part of its core strategy, Heritage Marketing and Publications will be working with local authorities and other archaeologists in East Anglia to survey (free-of-charge), for research purposes, key sites that deserve much better understanding - i.e. the Roman Fort at Brancaster.

Work is also planned to help Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project during the Summer 2006. More information on this project can be found at www.sharp.org.uk

We will also consider commercial work with this equipment, at hugely competitive prices, on both research and development sites.  Any income generated from this type of work will help support further sponsorship of field projects in West Norfolk.

We have recently funded other archaeological research projects in Norfolk that needed finance quickly to allow work to both begin and to continue and, furthermore, we have purchased items for a local museum under the terms of the Treasure Act.
