Looking for sources of qualitative data for research?
Qualitative data sources vary widely by topic and are generally less available for research access often due to human subject privacy protection. Repositories here include where data may be requested for approved research uses (QDR, ICPSR) as well as some offering public open access data for certain topics. Contact JHU Data Services for guidance on sharing qualitative data.
- Qualitative Data RepositoryThe QDR in Syracuse has a growing collection of qualitative data in a range of formats and subjects, primarily for the social sciences. Some datasets require approval for access.
- UK Data Services, Qualitative and Mixed Methods DatasetsThe UK Data Service is one of the largest social science repositories with a range of qualitative sources. Many require approval for re-use.
- Harvard University DataverseHarvard University's Dataverse repository has a wide range of data from many research fields, but with social sciences as its primary focus. Many are open access. Search for "qualitative" as a keyword.
