In collaboration with the Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS), GGP is currently working on a data project to find and archive micro-level data and documentation for the historical fertility surveys of developed countries before the 1990s. Our goal is to archive the historical datasets at DANS and release them via GGP in order to make it more visible and accessible for the research community for cross-survey research.
