ICPSR recognized as a 2019 recipient of nation’s highest museum and library honor
The Institute of Museum and Library Services has named ICPSR as one of 10 recipients of the 2019 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor given to museums and libraries that make significant and exceptional contributions to their communities.
Selected from 30 national finalists, the 2019 National Medal for Museum and Library Service winners represent institutions that provide dynamic programming and services that exceed expected levels of service. Through their community outreach, these institutions bring about change that touches the lives of individuals and helps communities thrive.
“Our receipt of this recognition is a tribute to the vision of our founder, Warren Miller,” said ICPSR Director Maggie Levenstein. “That vision was about creating fair and transparent data about political, social, and economic behavior and making it useful and accessible so that we would have a more informed and grounded social science and more informed and grounded populace."
