Maintaining a comprehensive and up-to-date resource catalogue is a major task that a relatively small organisation like the Observatory can't achieve without help and support of others.
We encourage individuals and organisations to help develop the resource catalogue by submitting details of data and information sources to the catalogue.
What resources are included in the catalogue?
There's a wide range of resources included in the catalogue covering many subject areas. One of the simplest ways of finding out what types of data and information is available is by browsing the catalogue yourself.
You'll find national, regional and sub-regional reports, datasets, statistics and a wealth of other data and information sources published by respected organisations, all of which are relevant to the West Midlands region and/or its sub-regions.
Contribute to the catalogue
If you know of any resources relevant to the West Midlands that aren't included in the catalogue, please do submit them yourself.
You may have helped produce a report relevant to Worcestershire, or used a dataset to analyse housing market trends in the Black Country. There's a wealth of information that is being produced and if you have found an information source useful, so might someone else.
Submitting your research and data to the catalogue is a great way to raise the profile of your research.
You can submit submit resources online (you'll need to be registered with us).
If you'd like to submit resources and would like some guidance, see our submission guide (pdf, 118kb) or contact gavin.wray@wmro.org.
Don't have time to submit a resource?
Recommend a resource to us — send an email to info@wmro.org with the title and link to the resource and we'll do the rest.
Help us to improve the catalogue
We welcome any feedback on how to improve the catalogue. Please contact gavin.wray@wmro.org with any feedback.
