Support
The Government Digital Service (GDS) maintains the service behind the National Data Library. This includes:
- the redesigned pages that were published in 2026, including the curated data collections and data manual
- the previous version of data.gov.uk which we’ve renamed the directory, and which includes functionality to find and publish data
The National Data Library service cannot:
- provide personal information or medical records
- combine data from multiple datasets
- host data
If you’re a civil servant
You can join the conversation about the National Data Library on our UK Government Digital Slack channel: #datagovuk .
