Abstract:

All the SRMS proceedings papers from 1978 onwards are already online. Last year, at the 175th year of the ASA, we made a proposal to identify, scan and put online the survey-related papers scattered in the hardcopy ASA proceedings of the Social Statistics Section (SSS) before 1978, the year that the SRMS was born when it split from the SSS. With the enthusiastic support of the SRMS, the authors are delighted to report that all these old SSS papers, including the non-survey research papers, are available online. We believe that this effort will help to recover some of the survey research advances that are buried in the hardcopy proceedings. This talk will provide an overview of the project, discuss the process to digitize the papers, display the contents of the product, and demonstrate how users can conduct searches.

Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
