ICPSR was established in 1962 as an integral part of the infrastructure of
social science research. It maintains and provides access to a vast
archive of social science data for research and instruction, and offers
training in quantitative methods to facilitate effective data use. To
ensure that data resources are available to future generations of
scholars, ICPSR preserves data, migrating them to new storage media as
changes in technology warrant. In addition, ICPSR provides user support
to assist researchers in identifying relevant data for analysis and in
conducting their research projects. This database is available at
