title: Lives of the Poor in the West End of London, 1725 - 1824

description: The project aimed to reconstruct the lives of paupers using the unusually rich poor law records for St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster across the long-eighteenth century. The main objectives were:&lt;br&gt; 1. To discover and analyse the characteristics of recipients of both indoor and outdoor relief with a view to understanding their total life situation, the frequency with which they received relief, and the duration of that relief.&lt;br&gt; 2. To analyse the changing experience of children and old people within the welfare system.&lt;br&gt; 3. Wherever possible, to uncover the familial and life-cycle circumstances of the pauper population, and how alterations in these circumstances were related to poor law payments and interactions with the institutions of relief.&lt;br&gt; 4. To produce some basic statistical measures of poor relief including long-run patterns of expenditure on the poor.&lt;br&gt; 5. To compare material derived from the pauper biographies of Westminster with those from other settlements and parishes, both in the capital and elsewhere.&lt;br&gt;

title: First World War Gassed Veterans, 1916-1978

description: This study looked at First World War veterans who were gassed during the War, and the effects gassing had on their health and their own perception of their health. &lt;br&gt; A random sample of 103 First World War veterans was selected from 7800 war pension files. All had an award for the effects of gassing but had not suffered long-term respiratory damage. Their beliefs about their exposure to toxins and symptoms were recorded over a twenty-year period to explore whether these changed over time and whether patterns existed. Symptoms were analysed using cluster analysis and identified two groups: one with a respiratory and cardiovascular focus and a smaller group with a wider range of physical and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The constant comparative method was used to analyse qualitative data about their beliefs. This revealed convictions about the power of gas to cause long-term and irreversible physical damage. Subsequent respiratory disorders tended to be interpreted in the light of this important experience and did not provide an alternative model of recovery and repair.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: COEL Database: Continental Origins of English Landholders, 1066-1166

description: The aim of the research project was to determine the continental origins of those who held land or other benefits of the king in England after the Norman Conquest, in order to understand the phenomenon of the Conquest as a continental alliance, and, by tracing the descent of those holdings thereafter, to understand the nature of any continuity or discontinuity. Tracing origins was largely done by research in French archives. The subjects of the inquiry are all evidenced in the surviving English administrative records of the period under study, 1066 to 1166, many of them abbreviated or otherwise elliptical fiscal records. Many of them were obscure persons who had attracted little, if any, attention from historians. This research identified the different persons in these lists and tried to place them in the larger groups, familial and tenurial, to which they belonged. The work is thus a prosopography providing a key to the vast mass of name records in the surviving administrative texts, often based on numerous private charters and chronicles surviving from the period.&lt;br&gt;

title: East India Company: Trade and Domestic Financial Statistics, 1755-1838

description: The dataset was created as part of an ESRC-sponsored study, ‘British economic, social, and cultural interactions with Asia, 1760-1833’. It contains statistics relating to the trade and domestic finances of the monopolistic English East India Company primarily between 1755 and 1834, the year in which the Company ceased to function as a commercial organization. Until now quantitative data derived from original sources has only been available in time series for the Company’s trade and some aspects of its domestic finances for the years before 1760. But many of the details, patterns, and trends of trade and finance in the decades after 1760, a most important period when the Company fully embarked on the interlinked processes of military, political, and commercial expansion in Asia, have remained unclear. In creating this dataset, the aim was thus two-fold: i) to establish for the first time a set of statistics detailing the changing value, volume, and geographical structure of the East India Company’s overseas trade for the period when the Company began to exert imperial control over large parts of the Indian subcontinent; and ii) to generate select statistics relating to the Company’s domestic finances, thereby enabling analysis to be undertaken of a range of Company interactions with Britain’s economy and society.

title: Justices of the Peace, 1669-1699

description: This dataset constitutes an index, arranged alphabetically by surname, of the names of justices of the peace occurring in certain records at The National Archives (TNA), London. This data was originally created as part of the preparation for B. D. Henning (ed) &lt;i&gt;History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1660 - 1690&lt;/i&gt; (London, 1983). The original index created on punched cards covered the period 1642-1700. However, the surviving punched cards converted into a machine readable form by History Data Service only cover the period 1669-1699.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: WHS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Welsh Health Survey&lt;/i&gt; (WHS) collects information about the health of people living in Wales, the way they use health services, and the factors that can affect their health. The current WHS series was conducted for the first time in 2003-2004. It was commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG), and carried out by a consortium comprising the National Centre for Social Research, Beaufort Research, and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London. The new WHS replaces two previous study series: the previous WHS, conducted in 1995 and 1998 (the 1998 WHS is held at the UK Data Archive under SN 4176), and the &lt;i&gt;Health in Wales Survey&lt;/i&gt; which was conducted five times in 1985, 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1996 (none are currently held at the UKDA). Users should note that results from the new WHS survey are not comparable with those from the previous surveys, because of differences in the questionnaires and survey methodology.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The new WHS is designed to: &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide estimates of health status, health determinants and health service use&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;contribute to setting and monitoring targets and indicators in the health strategies and National Service Frameworks&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;examine differences between population sub-groups (such as sex, age, social class) and local areas&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide a direct measurement of need for health care for National Health Service resource allocation in Wales&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide local health board- and local authority-level information for the development of joint local health, social care and well-being strategies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The WHS is based on a representative sample of adults aged 16 and over living in private households in Wales, and also collects a limited amount of information about children in those households.&lt;br&gt;

title: Electronic Edition of Domesday Book: Translation, Databases and Scholarly Commentary, 1086; second edition

description: The text of Domesday Book is notoriously ambiguous, its array of social and economic statistics hitherto inaccessible, and the majority of individuals and many places unidentified. This electronic edition aims to make Domesday Book both more accessible and more intelligible by presenting its contents in a variety of forms: a translation, databases of names, places and statistics, and a detailed scholarly commentary on all matters of interest or obscurity in the text. All forms of the data are cross-referenced, and all can be used with standard applications.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; The translation of Great Domesday was transcribed from the Phillimore edition (see data sources for this project) into an electronic format by typists working on a government employment scheme during the early 1980s, then enhanced by the addition of extensive coding under an ESRC-funded research project later in the decade. The comparable transcription and coding of Little Domesday was undertaken by Dr Natasha Hodgson for this project, while the Phillimore notes were scanned, edited, enlarged and enhanced by Dr and Mrs Thorn, also for this project. The databases of names and places were transcribed into electronic format from the original printed Phillimore indexes, then published as national indexes by Phillimore (1992). The statistics database is original to this project, though compiled over a long period.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; In the second edition, some errors have been corrected, improvements made to the consistency of the translation and the name-stock, and a substantial file (identifying_domesday_landowners.rtf) identifying landowners named only by their Christian names in Domesday Book has been added.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; For further information about the project and Domesday Book please refer to the &lt;a href="http://www.domesdaybook.net/"&gt;project web site&lt;/a&gt;, where an alternative download possibility for the data is available.

title: Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey, 2006
title: Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey, 1998-
title: NILT

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey&lt;/em&gt; (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, which was discontinued in 1996.&lt;br&gt;The main aims of the NILT series are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to facilitate academic social policy analysis;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT originally had a companion series which also began in 1998, the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Young Life and Times Survey&lt;/a&gt; (YLT), although the YLT methodology changed in 2003 and it is conducted separately each year. The &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Kids' Life and Times&lt;/a&gt; (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT also forms part of the &lt;a title="International Social Survey Programme" href="http://www.issp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;International Social Survey Programme&lt;/a&gt; (ISSP), although it does not do so every year. Unfortunately, NILT did not run in 2011 due to funding issues, though YLT ran as normal that year; NILT resumed in 2012 (SN 7408). In addition, several &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;open access teaching datasets&lt;/a&gt; were created by ARK (Access Research Knowledge) from various years of NILT, covering different topics such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues, politics and community relations, attitudes to ageing and ageism, and dementia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;



&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information about the series may be found on the ARK &lt;a title="NILT" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;NILT&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Strategy and Service Improvement in Local Government, 2002-2003
title: Strategy and Performance in Local Government: Does Best Value Deliver?

description: A large literature suggests that strategic management makes a difference to the performance of firms in the private sector. Little attention has been devoted, by contrast, to the impact of organisational strategies in the public sector, despite the recent concern by policy makers and academics to identify potential sources of public service improvement. This research project aimed to develop and apply strategic management models to public organisations, and to test empirically whether strategy content and processes have significant effects on performance.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The objectives stated in the original application were to:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;apply strategic management theory to the processes and performance of local authorities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;explain different strategic approaches to 'Best Value' performance assessment in Welsh local government&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;create datasets on the strategy processes and performance of local authorities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide the first empirical evidence on the impact of strategic management on performance in the public sector&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; develop new strategy models that are relevant to public organisations&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;All but one of these objectives were achieved; the second objective became impossible to pursue when 'Best Value' was abolished in Wales in 2002. This in fact illustrates one of the main themes of the research; the significance of the external environment for strategy and performance in the public sector. In addition to the four remaining objectives, four extra aims have also been achieved:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;an exploration of the effects of strategy content as well as strategy processes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;an analysis of the impact of the socio-economic and regulatory context on local service performance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;an evaluation of the relationship between strategy and performance in not only Welsh but also English local authorities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;an examination of the effects of not only strategy formulation but also strategy implementation on service performance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Further information about the project may be found on the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=R000239249" title="ESRC Society Today - View Grant Award: Strategy and Performance in Local Government"&gt; Strategy and Performance in Local Government&lt;/a&gt; grant award web page.

title: Financial Capability Baseline Survey, 2005
title: Financial Capability Survey, 2015-

description: &lt;p&gt;The Financial Capability Survey is a nationally representative survey of UK residents, commissioned initially in 2005 by the Financial Services Authority and then from 2015 onwards by the Money and Pensions Service (formerly the Money Advice Service), to support the development and delivery of the &lt;a href="http://www.fincap.org.uk/" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Financial Capability Strategy for the UK.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Financial Capability Baseline Survey, 2005&lt;/span&gt; was commissioned by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to provide a baseline measure of the levels of financial capability in the United Kingdom. The survey was able to identify people's relative strengths and weaknesses across five financial capability 'domains'. Findings from the survey were used to describe the types of people most likely to display higher or lower levels of financial capability and provide a deep insight into consumer financial behaviour and attitudes.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;A later study updates the evidence base established in this survey - the &lt;i&gt;Financial Capability Survey, 2015&lt;/i&gt;, held under SN 8184. The questionnaire and methodology have been modified since the 2005 study, so there is limited scope for comparisons over time. The latest survey in the series is the F&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;inancial Capability Survey, 2018,&lt;/span&gt; held under SN 8454.&lt;br&gt;

title: Entering e-Society: Young Children's Development of e-Literacies, 2005

description: Today's preschool children are growing up in an 'e-society', where digital connectivity to the internet, mobile phones and other forms of electronic interaction is an essential feature of daily life. To maximise the benefits that digital connectivity offers, avoid disadvantage or marginalisation, and become confident, discriminating and effective members of e-society, children need to become competent users of these new technologies. Despite increasing attention to the ways in which school-aged children learn to exploit them, there has been little research so far into the early experiences of preschool children (aged three to five), or the implications for subsequent educational development.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The study of children's entry into e-society aims to address this gap by investigating children's development of early 'e-literacy' in the home. For this project, the concept 'e-literacy' was defined as a set of technical and socio-cultural competences needed to make effective and creative use of digital connectivity opportunities. Use of the term 'e-literacy' implies parallels with print literacy and one of the features of this study was a comparison between young children's developing e-literacy and their early print literacy, about which there is a well-established body of research. The impact of socio-economic disadvantage on the early development of e-literacy was also examined, an aspect of the 'digital divide' which has hitherto received limited attention. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This research addressed three interrelated themes: the nature of children's experiences as they enter e-society; factors supporting or hindering the development of early e-literacy; and the emergence of a digital divide between children with extensive and varied experiences of digital connectivity at home and in the community, and those who have not had such opportunities. The role of the survey was to contextualise the case-study data on which the project is principally based. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information on the project may be found on the University of Stirling Institute of Education's &lt;a href="http://www.ioe.stir.ac.uk/research/projects/esociety/index.php" title="Entering e-Society: Young Children's Development of e-Literacies"&gt;Entering e-Society: Young Children's Development of e-Literacies&lt;/a&gt; project web page.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
