Wroxeter: The Webster Excavation Archive Project

Between 1955 and 1985 Dr Graham Webster directed a field school on the legionary fortress and Roman city at Wroxeter. The results of these were published in two excavation reports in 2000 and 2002. The complete archive including both the documentation and the objects is now housed in the English Heritage store at Atcham on the outskirts of Shrewsbury. The principle research aim of this project was to organise and document the paper archive to provide an effective curatorial and research tool. It is hoped that people can use the data presented here to structure any requests for access to either the documentation or the objects in order to carry out further research. The data set consists of a database of the records, a guide to using the database and a guide to the paper archive.
