Welcome to the Longitudinal Studies Centre Scotland where you can find out more about our work. The LSCS projects focus on linking data over time to produce longitudinal research resources that inform a wide variety of disciplines.

The Digitising Scotland project is digitising vital events records (births, marriages and deaths) for people living in Scotland since 1856, allowing research access to individual level information on the Scottish population. View the Digitising Scotland website...

The SLS-DSU develops and supports the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a large-scale linkage study using data from administrative and statistical sources. The SLS follows 5.3% of the Scottish population from 1991 onwards. View the Scottish Longitudinal Study website...

We work with our partners to ensure the evidence and trends we spot are highlighted so the public, civil society and decision-makers have access to the information they need, for the benefit of all.
