Lists and registers

Information Asset Register (IAR)

Ordnance Survey holds vast quantities of information, including databases, collections of statistics and research. The Government is committed to making its services and information available to all and therefore all government department information is held within a searchable database called the Information Asset Register (IAR).

To search these records and find out more about IAR, simply visit Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) website.

Place of Deposit

Ordnance Survey works with The National Archives (TNA) to ensure the appropriate deposit of documents and records with the relevant national archives, under the terms of the Public Records Act 1958 as amended by the Public Records Act 1967 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We are also accredited by TNA as a designated distributed 'Place of Deposit' for annual digital copies of the National Geographical Database.    

We also deposit copies of all of our published paper maps with the Legal Deposit Libraries under the terms of the Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003, and voluntarily make an annual deposit of published digital map data with the Legal Deposit Libraries under the spirit of this Act.
