Internet Archaeology is a not-for-profit academic electronic journal, published by the Council for British Archaeology and hosted by the Department of Archaeology at the University of York. Although based in the UK, Internet Archaeology is an international journal and publishes a wide range of research articles of a high academic standing which also try to utilise the potential of electronic publication. Articles regularly contain fully searchable databases to analyse online; full-colour, interactive images, plans and sections; video footage; virtual reality models and give access to related digital archive material. Internet Archaeology employs 1 member of staff (80% FTE) plus an administrator shared with ADS (20% FTE). The journal is currently funded by a mixture of UK, overseas institutional and individual subscriptions plus a small proportion of publication subventions and advertising revenue. It has taken steps towards becoming Open Access with support from the JISC and currently provides free access to over 80 Higher and Further Education institutions in the UK. The journal is archived by the Archaeology Data Service.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation makes grants in several core areas one of which is Scholarly Communications. This program focuses broadly on all stages in the life cycle of scholarly resources. The program complements fellowships and other kinds of support for research and teaching at research universities, liberal arts colleges, independent research centers, libraries, and museums by promoting the cost-effective creation, dissemination, accessibility, and preservation of high-quality scholarly resources in humanistic studies broadly defined.

The Archaeology Data Service (ADS) supports research, learning and teaching in the UK with high quality and dependable digital resources. It does this by preserving digital data in the long term, and by promoting and disseminating a broad range of data in archaeology. The ADS promotes good practice in the use of digital data in archaeology, it provides technical advice to the UK research community, and supports the deployment of digital technologies. The ADS currently employs 11 members of staff. It receives funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Natural Environment Research Council, the European Commission, English Heritage, Historic Scotland, the Higher Education Academy, the Heritage Lottery Fund, as well as various agencies responsible for developer-funded archaeology.

The Department of Archaeology of the University of York is housed in the historic King's Manor campus, in the centre of York. The Department has an established international reputation in the teaching and research of computer applications in Archaeology. It hosts both the ADS and Internet Archaeology.
