About the “The
Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA)”
The Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA) strives to
democratize access to the best data on religion. Founded as the American
Religion Data Archive in 1997 and going online in 1998 the initial archive was
targeted at researchers interested in American religion. The targeted audience
and the data collection have both greatly expanded since 1998 now including
American and international collections and developing features for educators, journalists,
religious congregations and researchers. Data included in the ARDA are
submitted by the foremost religion scholars and research centers in the world.
Currently housed in the Social Science Research Institute,
the College
of Liberal Arts and the Department of Sociology at the Pennsylvania State University,
the ARDA is funded by the Lilly Endowment, the John Templeton Foundation, Chapman University and
the Pennsylvania
State University.
