Advice to data depositors
Data collections are accessioned for all periods, from ancient history through
to 1945, and although the primary focus is on the UK, cross-national data collections
are regularly accessioned. When a data collection is deposited with the History
Data Service its is validated, an archival copy is made to ensure its long-term
preservation, and a full catalogue record is created which is included in the
UK Data Archive
Data Catalogue. The History Data Service also manages the distribution of the data collection
to users in the research and teaching community, and regulates access in accordance
with the terms and conditions chosen by the depositor.
For further information about depositing data with the History Data Service
is given in Frequently Asked Questions about depositing.
