The '''Arts and Humanities Data Service''' ('''AHDS''') iswas a [[United Kingdom]] national service aiding the discovery, creation and preservation of digital resources in and for research, teaching and learning in the [[arts]] and [[humanities]]. It was established in [[1996]] and ceased operation in [[2008]] (although the website and related digital collections are still accessible).

OrganizedOrganised via a Managing Executive at [[King's College London]] and five AHDS Centres, hosted by various UK Higher Education Institutions, the AHDS iswas funded until the end of March 2008 by the [[Joint Information Systems Committee]] and the [[Arts and Humanities Research Council]] (AHRC).

However, in March 2007 the AHRC decided to cease funding for the AHDS beyond March [[2008]]. As a result, the AHDS is now advising AHRC applicants to ensure their projects include a budget for the costs of preservation and sustainability (whether with the AHDS or another service).
