Submitting Data

Submitting data is easy, just contact the DASSH team by email (dassh.enquiries@mba.ac.uk) or by phone (+44 (0)1752 633291) to discuss your data/images and archive requirements. DASSH can accommodate a wide range of electronic data types and file formats, and data can be submitted by post (on suitable media), by email or by file transfer.

Certain standard formats (including MEDIN Guidelines and Darwin Core Archive/OBIS-ENV) can be archived at zero-cost to the data provider.

However, before contacting us, please read the DASSH Terms and Conditions - our Terms and Conditions are important and help ensure data are used in the way our data providers intend.

If you have any queries about submitting data remember that DASSH is only a phone call or email away.

What about physical datasets, slides, film etc?

The archive also holds physical media, e.g. scientist's notebooks, drawings, survey reports, films/slides and video tapes. The physical archive prioritises 'legacy data' that is 'at risk', i.e. where the host institution can no longer hold the material, the institution has closed or the scientist(s) have retired. DASSH will deal with requests to hold physical media on a case-by-case basis. Please contact DASSH to discuss your requirements.
