ESRC award holders offer their research data to our ESRC Data Store within three months of the end of their grant, to preserve them and to make them available for new research.
Regular depositors of large-scale social surveys or government data series send us their completed deposit form and signed licence agreement, together with their prepared data and documentation files.
New depositors can offer their data by sending us a short description of the data collected. Our Data Appraisal Group makes an assessment of your data according to our Collections Development Policy.
