ICPSR
What is it? The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) maintains and provides access to an archive of social science data sets which can be used for research and instruction. The data holdings cover a broad range of disciplines, including criminal justice, demography, economics, education, foreign policy, gerontology, history, law, political science, public health, and sociology. Resources are obtained from government, academic, and private organizations.
