Heritage Information Access Simplified (HIAS) is a programme of interlinked projects designed to simplify and improve public access to heritage data held or generated by Historic England, by Local Authority Historic Environment Records and by other bodies.
Historic England has developed a series of projects that aim to simplify access to heritage information, under the umbrella of the Heritage Information Access Strategy (HIAS).
HIAS is a business and culture change programme for those involved in the production and handling of heritage information.
