Since 2003 the Historical Data Research Unit has been developing data and software infrastructure needed to support systematic understandings of the past and long-term change in society, economy and culture. The Unit is hosted by the College of Arts and the College of Management and Economics at the University of Guelph; the lead departments are History and Economics. Current HDRU projects are supported by Google, Sharcnet, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Scottish Studies Foundation and other agencies.
