How to set up and run a data service: the challenges of social science data
Venue: UK Data Archive, University of Essex, Colchester
A once-a-year opportunity for data archivists to go behind the scenes and learn first hand from specialists at the UK Data Archive is happening on 13 and 14 October 2011. Over two days participants will learn about the strategies and practices used in the Archive's daily work, with a focus on storing and sharing social science data, including microdata, aggregate, qualitative and historical data.
The Archive has over 40 years experience in selecting, ingesting, curating and providing access to data. We are a designated Place of Deposit for The National Archives and are internationally acknowledged experts in this field. The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) will be supporting three fully funded scholarships to attend this workshop.
