Costs of Depositing Data

This section of the web site contains information about the cost of depositing data with the History Data Service

Currently data accepted by the History Data Service and created as part of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) grant can be deposited at no charge. For other deposits there is a one-off charge which is used to meet the costs of accession, cataloguing and preserving data. These costs are laid out in the UK Data Archive Charging Policy. Where possible, funding agencies, and not individuals, will be encouraged to provide support for the long-term preservation of data.
