"In 1975, St Saviour Church was acquired by York Archaeological Trust. At first it was used for the storage of finds, and then, in 1990, York Archaeological Trust set up the Archaeological Resource Centre (ARC) to complement its existing York attraction, Jorvik Viking Centre. Over the following decade, thousands of people visited the ARC, and now DIG has opened its doors so that visitors can continue to explore the history of York." Text Source: (
