Data Archive Services
As a service to IBS researchers and support personnel, CRS provides information and assistance in locating and accessing data that might be helpful to a research project.
The ICPSR Archive of Downloadable Data. The Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) Web site http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/ provides quick and easy access to its vast data archive. Because the University of Colorado, Boulder is a member of ICPSR, anyone connected to the ICPSR web site through a University internet service provider (ISP) has free direct access to the downloadable data. Jani Little is the University's official representative to ICPSR and can be contacted for more information or for assistance with a particular data set.
ICPSR Special Data Collections Available at CRS. Most ICPSR data sets are downloadable. However, some special data collections are available on CD at CRS. To view a list of these click here.
Other Data CDs Available at CRS. Frequently requested data sets are sometimes purchased for IBS use. These include several CDs for geographic analysis of U.S. Census data; two international databases distributed by the United Nations; and the National Study of Adolescent Health.
