ICPSR maintains and provides access to a vast archive of
social science data for research and instruction, and offers
training in quantitative methods to facilitate effective data use.
To ensure that data resources are available to future generations of
scholars, ICPSR preserves data, migrating them to new storage media
as changes in technology warrant. In addition, ICPSR provides user
support to assist researchers in identifying relevant data for
analysis and in conducting their research projects. ICPSR is a
membership-based organization, with over 400 member colleges and
universities around the world.
- The
Children's Bureau *
The Children’s Bureau (CB) is the oldest federal agency for
children and is located within the United States Department of

services designed to protect children and strengthen families. The
agency provides grants to States, Tribes and communities to operate
a range of child welfare services including child protective

The Child Welfare League of America, in cooperation with the state
child welfare agencies, has collected the nation's first
comprehensive, interactive child welfare database: the National Data
Analysis System (NDAS). The NDAS harnesses technology to promote
effective integration of research, policy, and practice. The NDAS
puts child welfare statistics at the fingertips of Internet users,
creating customized tables and graphs and providing information and
links necessary to understand the data. Web site: http://ndas.cwla.org.
