ICPSR Through the Years
ICPSR launched its first Web site in 1997 
.
After IP-based access was introduced in 2000, we began
updating the Web site every two years, with the first substantive update in
March 2001 . By
regularly reevaluating our navigation, functionality, and design, we strive to keep our site current and
introduce regular improvements. We're currently on the sixth iteration of our Web site, which introduced
faceted searching.
