What is SOMAR?

The Social Media Archive (SOMAR) at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) is a collection of public and restricted data from various social media platforms organized and stored for research and analysis purposes. SOMAR aims to help researchers and community members better understand social media behavior and trends, and inform the development of new technologies and services.

SOMAR provides access to social media data and additional services including training in social media data use and learning opportunities for the community.
