ICPSR (The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
(ICPSR), established in 1962, is an integral part of the infrastructure of
social science research. 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)

Public Use Microdata Series census microdata for social and economic research. Although the decennial census began in
1790, detailed information was first listed for each individual in 1850. One of
