Abstract
 Access to Scotland's Past via the ArcIMS Java Connector Track: Archaeology Author(s): Mark Gillick The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) maintains a database of more than 250,000 National Monument Records and in excess of 800,000 associated collection records. Many of these datasets, set alongside data from other Scottish and UK government departments, have now been made available free of charge to the public in accordance with UK eGovernment targets and "Joined-Up Government" initiatives. This paper will discuss the evolution of the technical approach taken by RCAHMS in disseminating such datasets to the public via ArcIMS sites developed completely in-house using the ArcIMS Java Connector. The present and future benefits of adopting this technology will also be discussed within the wider context of providing effective public services via current and emerging Internet technologies.
