 Historic Scotland
http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/
Historic Scotland "safeguards the nation's built heritage and promotes its understanding and enjoyment on behalf of Scottish Ministers". The organisation's website is attractively designed and an impressive resource - it provides comprehensive information about each of the 300 plus properties in Historic Scotland's care, as well as searchable databases of Scotland's listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments. Other parts of the site feature up-to-date news and events listings, resources for schools, and a policy section with guidance on managing the historic environment. A top quality site, awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 4 Jul 2010].

 Parks & Gardens UK
http://www.parksandgardens.ac.uk/
Parks & Gardens UK describes itself as "the leading online resource dedicated to historic parks and gardens across the whole of the United Kingdom", and has grown out of the old United Kingdom Database of Historic Parks and Gardens (UKPG) - Sapling.info's very first Site of the Month back in November 1999. The current site is elegant and appealing, as well as being a superb resource - visitors can use the 'Places & People' function to search for records and view images of more than 6,500 parks and gardens, as well as of the people who created and worked in them. There's also a very good introduction to garden history, up-to-date news and events coverage, and a resource area with additional images, maps, plans, and downloadable oral histories about life in and around historic parks and gardens. This site is a must for anyone interested in landscape architecture or historic gardens, and is deservedly awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 4 Jul 2010].

 ArchINFORM - International Architectural Database
http://www.archinform.net/
archINFORM describes itself as "the largest online database for international architecture"; certainly, it continues to grow, and now features over 27,000 built and unrealised projects from numerous architects and planners. The database is available in English or German versions, and can be searched by person, location, keywords or text query. Its coverage of 20th century architecture is especially strong, but this is in all respects a well designed and impressively comprehensive resource. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 4 Jul 2010].

 BUBL Information Service
http://www.bubl.ac.uk/
BUBL is an Internet-based information service, aimed primarily at the UK higher education community, but freely accessible to anyone via the Web. The site's core feature is a searchable catalogue of 12,000 selected Internet resources, categorised according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Run by the Centre for Digital Library Research at Strathclyde University in Glasgow, one of BUBL's key strengths is the quality of its information - all featured resources are evaluated by BUBL staff, who also provide a succinct abstract and helpful subject terms for each resource. BUBL also ranks highly in terms of useability, with an interface which, though lackjing visual frills, is uncluttered and extremely easy to use. It's not quite clear how actively maintained BUBL still is, but it remains an excellent resource. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 4 Jul 2010].

 Reality Hacking
http://www.realityhacking.com/
The (unnamed) artist responsible for 'Reality Hacking' writes that "by taking a perspective usually limited to looking at art in the museum to the everyday world I interact with existing public situations. The consequences of these encounters are interventions or temporary installations which are often abandoned. In this process the artist subjugates himself to the act of perception by being anonymous." This regularly updated site illustrates these installations - realised, unrealised and proposed - with some fine and evocative images. In doing so, Reality Hacking achieves what it sets out to do - challenging our traditional perceptions of place in a manner which is both witty and thought-provoking. A wholly enjoyable site to visit, awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 4 Jul 2010].

 The Urban Conservation Glossary
http://www.trp.dundee.ac.uk/research/glossary/glossary.html
Based at the University of Dundee's School of Town and Regional Planning, the Glossary describes itself as "an attempt to impart some of the range, complexity, and enormous interest and satisfaction that can be found in conservation work, going beyond a simple catalogue of terms". This is an impressively comprehensive resource - there are eighty entries under the letter 'A' alone, for example - and a must for anyone interested in urban conservation. Many entries are illustrated (using some excellent photographs), and cross-referenced to other entries using hyperlinks. This site was Sapling.info's Site of the Month back in January 2000 - a decade on, it seems fitting to award it that status again. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 4 Jul 2010].
