Information contained on AHIMS

• Some parts of New South Wales have not been investigated in detail and there may be fewer records of Aboriginal sites in those areas. These areas may contain Aboriginal sites which are not recorded on AHIMS.

• The location details of Aboriginal sites are recorded in AHIMS as grid references (using easting and northing coordinates). There may be some historical errors in these recordings. This may include errors arising from the conversion of information from the imperial to the metric system, from the conversion of the database from a paper-based database to an electronic system, and from possible human errors when data was originally entered on AHIMS. The accuracy of AHIMS information can be cross-checked by locating the recorded site on the land. You should advise OEH of any inaccuracies in AHIMS information so that its records can be updated.
