Athens usernames and passwords are always given out by someone in the institution, usually a member of the library staff. There is a list of education sites registered with Athens including contact names and details. You may even be able to get your Athens identity online. Several institutions allow their staff and students to get Athens identities via their intranets, which makes the process even quicker. More information about this should be available from your local contact.

Alternatively some colleges and other institutions in UK higher and further eduction use Athens Devolved Authentication (AthensDA). If this is the case you should click on "Alternative login procedure(s) and help with logging in" on the Athens login page. Further information about AthensDA is available here.

On the Athens login page you should then either enter your Personal Athens Username or password, or if your institution uses AthensDA click on "Alternative login procedure(s) and help with logging in" and once confirming your institution you should be directed to CHCC: Historical Census Collection.
