Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ICPSR (Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research) at the University of Michigan has the largest collection of social science datasets outside of the federal government. It is an international consortium of over 750 academic institutions and research organizations, and it curates a vast archive of research data across multiple disciplines, including sociology, political science, economics, history, and psychology. Roper and NORC are both reputable research organizations that specialize in survey research, but they do not have the same breadth and depth of datasets as ICPSR. The Harvard-MIT Data Center is a prominent data repository, but it primarily focuses on scientific and technical datasets, rather than social science data.
