ANES Scanning Project

From 2018-2022, we tackled the project of converting decades of paper archives to digital format. We want to thank the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan for their help in funding this endeavor. We processed over 1060 boxes or 90,000 files or 5 million pages in total.

Our staff is continually working to update or add to the documentation available on each study page. We’ll update the list here as new material is added.
