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 need support with an issue

For support with an issue, please use the GOV.UK support form and mention that it’s about the National Data Library or data.gov.uk.

Note if this is a quetsion about a dataset on teh dircetory, those are maintained by publishers, so you should contact the publisher directly using the contact details on the dataset’s page. 

If you have feedback

If you have feedback or a question about the curated data collections, the data manual or our roadmap, please complete our feedback form.

If you want to propose new data for the data collections

Tell us about it on our feedback form. You can read the page on how we curate collections to understand what we are looking for when choosing data for the data collections. You can see and comment on upcoming data pages on our Github repository. The repository is open but you will need to create a Github account to comment.
