Affiliation:
The ISSR Data Archives was established in
December 1977 as a service unit supporting quantitative research,
primarily secondary analysis, within the Institute for Social Science
Research and the greater social science community at UCLA.
The Archive maintains a collection of machine-readable data files and
their documentation, coordinates the acquisition of additional data
from a variety of sources, and provides access to publicly available
data. The Archive is part of a network of national and international
organizations, and maintains contact with researchers and data
suppliers in order to be aware of new data collections, information
management techniques, and new computing technology.
