The Nottinghamshire Heritage Gateway is designed to provide a guide to the heritage resources of the county, and a history of Nottinghamshire featuring the latest research.

The key aims of the Gateway are:

• To assist researchers at all levels by indicating the range of resources available for the study of different aspects of Nottinghamshire' history, culture and heritage
• To provide easy access to the relevant websites and other resources of Nottinghamshire's heritage organisations and other organisations holding material on the county's heritage
• To provide an introduction to the primary and secondary resources (documentary, artefactual and topographical) for the history of Nottinghamshire
• To provide a history of Nottinghamshire written by leading experts in the field

The information provided by the Gateway is arranged through a series of research pathways. These provide users with a brief overview of a subject area and a list of key resources for further research, arranged by type of source material:

The Gateway is still being developed, and new pathways are added on a regular basis. Our thanks are due to the Millennium Festival Awards for All for a grant which has made development of the site possible.
