MARC Metadata Records

Obtaining MARC from ICPSR

From any search results page, you can download the result set by following the "MARC21 XML" link underneath "Export Results" (at the bottom of the right column). Use the "Filter by Recency" facet to restrict your result set to records recently added or updated, or use other facets/queries to customize your result set.

In addition to building your own sets, you can choose to download the pre-built sets below:

• Full collection as MARC21 XML (Updated 2012-01-03)
• All records updated/added in 2011 (Updated 2012-01-03)
• All records updated/added in 2010 (Updated 2011-02-03)

These pre-built sets are updated at the beginning of each calendar year.
