Australian Data Agency (ADA)
ADA is a consortium of leading national Australian universities. As a member of ACSPRI, University of Sydney staff and students can register for free to access data.
Formerly known as ASSDA (Australian Social Science Data Archive). ASSDA was set up in 1981 to collect and preserve computer-readable social, political and economic data relating and to make the data available for further analysis.
The data is useful for longitudinal and comparative studies and covers a wide range of research areas. The datasets include both Australian and non-Australian studies. Data is continuously added to ADA and includes current and historical datasets.
