What is the Scope of the History Data Service Collection?
The History Data Service collects high-quality digital resources – transcribed, scanned or compiled from historical source documents – which are of long-term interest to the historical community. The collection covers a wide range of historical topics, and brings together over 650 separate collections of data, including databases, spreadsheets, textbases, electronic texts and scanned images. 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. The History Data Service Collections Development Policy contains further information about the scope and the nature of the collection.
