The Harvard-MIT Data Center is a principal repository of quantitative social science data. It provides access to Murray Center student datasets as well as to many other archives and data suppliers. We maintain a large library of electronic data, a growing collection of unique data sets, and an extensive codebook library. The Data and Statistical Services provides reference and consulting support to users of electronic data. The Data Library, a collection of electronic data, includes extensive holdings for Economic Time Series and U.S. Census Data, and a range of other subject areas spanning historical and contemporary events, factual and opinion-oriented studies, and single and multiple country coverage.
Data are available for the United States and foreign countries.
The Data Archive holds a number of specialized datasets of fertility and health surveys, including American, European, Worldwide, China, and Latin America. The Roper Center for Public Opinion Research is an educational facility in the field of public opinion. The Center promotes the use of public opinion in addressing the problems faced by Americans and citizens of other nations. The Roger Center hopes to foster increased international understanding and to promote cross-national research. Our holdings are primarily machine readable datasets, although many of our materials, such as codebooks or census reports, are available for browsing at our offices.
