You can download recording forms and the accompanying guidance notes, to record the heritage within your community. The Big Anchor Project has developed a global tool for the identification of anchors. The initiative is managed by the NAS with the help of various project partners and supporters. The project is building a freely accessible, online database of anchors which can serve as a valuable tool for anybody undertaking research or with a general interest in the subject.
