Historical Data UK – Bank of England /ONS

Writing about web page https://www.escoe.ac.uk/research/historical-data/

The UK Historical Data repository has been developed jointly by the Bank of England, the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE) and the Office for National Statistics. The site is both a repository of historical UK data and relevant statistical publications, as well as a hub that links to other data websites and sources. The focus is on macroeconomic and financial market data but the site includes a range of disaggregated economic data at a sector, industry and regional level. More granular, historical microdata on the UK economy and other social science data is provided by the UK Data Servicerepository.

The site contains digital collections of many of the key official statistical publications produced since the C19th which were digitised specifically for this project. These generally go up to around 2010 when the Office for National Statistics moved to online digital provision of its statistical releases although some publications carry on after that date.

Well worth exploring!

Statistical Abstracts of the United States online

Writing about web page https://www.census.gov/library/publications/time-series/statistical_abstracts.html

The Library now has access to recent Statistical Abstracts of the United States in a database called Statistical Abstracts of the World, which you can access through the Library catalogue, Encore. We also have a partial set in print on Floor 4, at classmark 72 A.

The US Census Bureau has provided a useful online archive of the Abstracts from 1878 to 2010 - sadly after that the Abstract is not available free of charge! Each one provides a wealth of data on the USA and on individual states.
