The Australian Data Archive (ADA) is managed by the Australian National University (ANU). ADA was established at the ANU in 1981 with a brief to provide a national service for the collection and preservation of computer readable data relating to social, political and economic affairs and to make these data available for further analysis. A team of professional data archivists, advised by a panel of leading social scientists, provides both stewardship and outreach services to the Australian community.
