How to deposit data with the History Data Service?
The acquisition and accession of data into the History Data Service collection is managed by the UK Data Archive acquisitions team, who are also responsible for the acquistion and accession of data for the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS). For data depositors depositing data is essentially a two-stage process. Firstly, depositors complete the UKDA Data submission form. This is then reviewed by the Acquistions Review Committee (ARC) which meets fortnightly to review submissions. Secondly, if the data is accepted by ARC then depositors must prepare materials for formal deposit. This includes completing the data collection deposit forms, completing and signing a Licence Agreement and sending the data to the acquisitions section. Further information about how to deposit data is given in the depositing data section of the ESDS web site.
