The Latin American Databank at the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research locates, acquires, processes and archives public opinion surveys conducted by the survey research community in Latin America, including universities, institutes, individual scholars, private polling and public opinion research firms. To date, the LAD collection holds nearly twelve hundred studies from 16 countries, with the largest contributions coming from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. The LAD was established in 1989 with support from a three-year grant from The Tinker Foundation as a joint effort of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research in cooperation with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Connecticut. Since that time, in addition to acquiring and processing data into the databank, the Center has established agreements with regional databanks. The commitment of the Roper Center to its Latin American collection includes not only an on-going effort to acquire new studies but the continuous maintenance of its present collection. The Center has developed a searchable catalog of its Latin American holdings. This catalog allows the user to search by word, organization, date and country. Search the Latin American Databank
