The Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University is an archive of social science data specializing in data from public opinion surveys. Its collection includes over 23,000 datasets and almost 800,000 questions with responses in Roper iPoll, and adds hundreds more each year. The archive contains responses from millions of individuals on a vast range of topics.[1]
Roper Center focuses on surveys conducted by the news media and commercial polling firms. However, it also holds many academic surveys, including historical collections from the National Opinion Research Center[2] and Princeton University's Office of Public Opinion Research.[3]
The Roper Center maintains cooperative relationships with other archives around the world. Its board of directors includes representatives from academic and commercial public opinion research.[4] The Roper Center moved from the University of Connecticut to Cornell University in 2015.
