INTERNATIONAL DATA ARCHIVES

We work with a network of data archives across the world and can help you locate and acquire data from them. You can search for data at other archives via the clickable maps below.

We are part of the pan-European CESSDA Catalogue. From there you can locate data and variables from selected data collections stored at a number of European social science data archives. We also hold several key international survey series which can be found in our Data Catalogue.
