Roper Center focuses on surveys conducted by the news media and commercial polling firms. However, it also holds many academic surveys, including historical collections from the National Opinion Research Center[3] and Princeton University's Office of Public Opinion Research.[4]

The Roper Center maintains cooperative relationships with other archives around the world. Its board of directors includes representatives from academic and commercial public opinion research.[5] The Roper Center moved from the University of Connecticut to Cornell University in 2015.
