If you know about any data that the Roper Center should have, please contact us. We are currently involved in a joint project led by the Library of Congress and ICPSR directed at locating and archiving social science data from the 1930s to the present. The partner institutions will make efforts to obtain any data that has potential value for future students and researchers, so any suggestions or leads are very welcome. More information about the program can be found at: http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/.
