title: Kankai ibun, vol. 8, 1807

description: Kankai ibun, [1807], volume 8 = Description and travel of circumnavigation of seas, [1807], volume 8 = 環海 異聞 八 文化 4. Volume eight of a manuscript by Gentaku Ōtsuki and Kōkyō Shimura who drew from four Japanese fishermen the story of their voyage around the world during repeated interviews. The Kankai Ibun is an account of their journey when they were sent off-course en route to the capital, Edo. The fishermen were rescued by a Russian ship and taken to late 18th / early 19th century Europe and, most especially, Russia.; The cargo ship, Wakamiyamaru, left from the port of Ishimaki in Sendai-han, today’s Miyagi Prefecture, in Japan carrying rice and lumber with 16 crew members for Edo, today’s Tokyo, on November 27th, 1793. Shipwrecked and drifted in the Pacific Ocean for half a year, they finally landed in one of the islands of the Andreanof Islands, a part of the Aleutian Islands on May 10th, 1794. They were transferred to Irkutsk by Russians where they stayed until the spring of 1803. They were then called in by Alexander I of Russia to St. Petersburg where they stayed from April to June in 1803, and from where they started their journey back home. They were included in the Rezanov mission on the first Russian global circumnavigation by a ship Nadezhda. It took them 16 months to reach the port of Nagasaki, Japan in September, 1804 since they left in June, 1803. Of the sixteen, five crewmen got on board. Four returned home in Sendai; one, who had become an interpreter, returned to Russia with Rezanov.

title: Vacancy Survey, 2005-2019: Secure Access
title: VS

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Vacancy Survey&lt;/i&gt; (VS) is a statutory, monthly survey of businesses in Great Britain, which asks the single question, how many job vacancies did a business have in total on a specified date for which they were actively seeking recruits from outside their organisation. Vacancy statistics provide important information about the demand for labour, and give an early indication of what is happening in the labour market. They are used for monitoring and policy-making purposes by UK government departments and Eurostat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Questionnaires are sent to a sample of approximately 6,000 businesses on the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) every month, approached mainly via head offices rather than by local offices. The IDBR is a live register of data on businesses collected by HM Revenue and Customs via VAT and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records. Businesses return their &lt;i&gt;Vacancy Survey&lt;/i&gt; data to the Office for National Statistics using key presses on a telephone rather than returning a paper questionnaire. A small number of businesses have elected to receive a paper questionnaire which is returned in the pre-paid envelope provided.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The survey covers all sectors of the economy, with the exception of employment agencies and agriculture, forestry and fishing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;These data contain IDBR reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the seventh edition (December 2019), 4-monthly data files for May 2017 to April 2019 have been added and the January 2016 to April 2017 data files have been updated.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Annual Inquiry into Foreign Direct Investment, 1996-2017: Secure Access
title: AFDI; Annual Inquiry into Direct Investment in the UK

description: The &lt;i&gt;Annual Inquiry into Foreign Direct Investment&lt;/i&gt; (AFDI) collects financial data concerning Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The survey is conducted in two parts: the inward FDI relates to foreign investment into the UK from foreign parent or subsidiary companies, while the outward FDI relates to investment by UK-based companies to their overseas parents or subsidiary companies. In particular, the AFDI surveys UK companies about their relationship with oversees affiliates in terms of flows of investment, earnings from investment and international investment positions. Companies are restricted to those where the foreign investment amounts to at least 10 percent of the ordinary shares or voting power.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Two files are available for each year: for inward and outward FDI, respectively. Data on earnings for subsidiaries and branches are available, as well as transactions between UK companies and their foreign subsidiaries or parent companies, including transfers of capital.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; These data are useful to researchers who wish to analyse the relationship between UK companies and overseas-based parent companies or subsidiaries. The data are also useful for broader research into firm-level activity and foreign direct investment.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Surveys are sent to enterprise group 'heads' (i.e. the headquarters of a company, which in turn may own a number of smaller companies) based in the UK. The register from which the firms are sampled comes from sources including HM Customs and Revenue, Dunn and Bradstreet's 'Worldbase' system, and ONS inquiries on Acquisitions and Mergers. Sampling is stratified and based on the value of the net investment position of the foreign affiliates (outward FDI) or the UK group (inward FDI). The sample is heavily weighted towards larger enterprise groups, which account for the vast majority of FDI assets. The largest firms all receive the survey forms, while only a proportion of the smaller firms receive the forms. The sample is rotated each year for the smaller firms. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Data are collected on both the UK company and its foreign affiliate(s), which may be the overseas-based parent company or an overseas-based subsidiary.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Latest edition information&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; For the seventh edition (December 2019), the data files for 2016 have been updated, and the provisional data files for 2017 have been added to the study. &lt;br&gt;

title: PRODCOM

description: PRODCOM (&lt;i&gt;Products of the European Community&lt;/i&gt;) is a European Union (EU) wide survey of production mainly for the manufacturing industries collected under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91. PRODCOM is classified to the Commerce Energy and Industry National Statistics Theme Group. Manufacturing (excluding recycling) and mineral extraction are sub-divided into a list of around 3,800 products. Companies selected for PRODCOM supply value sales data (as a proxy for production) for the products they manufacture, as well as non-manufacturing income. In addition, companies in approximately three quarters of the covered industries supply volume sales data.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together.

title: IMF International Financial Statistics, 1929-2020
title: IMF IFS

description: Published monthly since 1948, the &lt;i&gt;International Financial Statistics (IFS)&lt;/i&gt; database is the principal statistical publication of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and is the standard source for all aspects of international and domestic finance. The database contains approximately 32,000 time series for over 200 countries and geographical areas. It reports, for most countries, time series data on exchange rates, balance of payments, international liquidity, money and banking, interest rates, prices, production, international transactions, government accounts, national accounts and population.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Selected data, including data on Fund accounts, international reserves and international trade, are also aggregated into regional and world tables.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Data are reported in a mixture of indexes, national currencies, US Dollars and SDRs (the basket currency the IMF uses as a unit of account). Most annual data begin in 1929; quarterly and monthly data generally begin in 1940; most balance of payments data begin in 1970.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This database was first provided by the UK Data Service in December 2003.&lt;br&gt;

title: Monthly Business Survey, 2011-2018: Secure Access
title: Monthly Business Survey (Production and Services); MBS

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Monthly Business Survey&lt;/i&gt; (MBS) collects turnover and employment information from UK businesses in production industries and Great Britain businesses in services industries. Monthly turnover results give an early indication of what is happening in the economy and contribute to a number of important economic measures, including the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Index of Production (IoP) and the Index of Services (IoS). The GDP is a key economic measure used by the Bank of England and HM Treasury to monitor and forecast economic growth and to inform vital policy decisions. The IOP and the IOS show changes in production and service sector outputs, respectively, and are a key measure of these industries' contribution to the economy. Employment information is collected via the MBS on a quarterly basis to feed into other Office for National Statistics (ONS) publications such as the Labour Market Statistical Bulletin, Workforce Jobs and the Economic and Labour Market Review.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The survey provides businesses with a vital source of information for identifying trends in the market, as a benchmark for company performance and as a guide to market developments.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The MBS is a relatively new survey that combines two previously separate ONS turnover/employment surveys: the Monthly Production Inquiry (available from the UK Data Archive under SN 6726) and the Monthly Inquiries into the Distribution and Services Sector (available under SN 6747).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From July 2014 the data available is limited to 12 variables for each month. Previousl months include 40 variables.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the second edition (January 2020), monthly data files from April 2014 to April 2018 have been added to the study.

title: InscriptiFact -- an image database of inscriptions and artifacts

description: The InscriptiFact Collection is designed to allow access via the Internet to high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions and artifacts, primarily from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean Worlds. The targeted inscriptions constitute some of the world’s earliest written records, which are mostly housed in a number of international museums and libraries, as well as field projects where inscriptions still remain in situ. Included, for example, are, selected Dead Sea Scrolls; cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, Persia, Canaan and Egypt; early Jewish papyri from Egypt; lapidary inscriptions, primarily from Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus; inscriptions on a variety of hard media (e.g., ostraca, copper, semi-precious stones, jar handles) mostly written in early Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ammonite and Edomite; and much more. These ancient texts are foundational documents that serve as a point of reference for Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the cultures out of which they emerged. The name "InscriptiFact" is intended to convey the concept of a scholarly archive based on "facts" about "inscriptions" and "artifacts." West Semitic Research Project (WSRP) under the auspices of the University of Southern California (USC) is broadly acknowledged as a leader in the application of photographic and digital technologies to capture and analyze data of ancient texts. The West Semitic Research image archive now contains approximately 1,500,000 images. Important!
