I am always looking for data. Often, as social scientists, we are looking for data but are not exactly sure what exists or what we need. There should be a set of websites, which curate available datasets and make some commentary on them. These are starting to emerge and are the ones that I have found, which are useful. If you find more, please get in touch, and I will add them to the list.

• ISA has put together a good list of cross-national dataset, and is adding curatorial commentary.
• APSA Task Force on Political Violence. A list of datasets related to political violence and terrorism. It doesn’t look like it is being updated.
• The DEVECONDATA Blog is a good resource for comparative political economy data. There is also useful commentary and the tags are also well laid out.
• The Electronic Data Center at Emory overlaps a lot with the ISA aggregator. Most of the datasets are cross-national data./li>
• The Internet Data Sources for Social Scientists has a wide-ranging curation of datasets. Much of the data is much more micro in nature.
