The ARDA is pleased to celebrate 10 years of providing online access to the highest quality data on religion. As we celebrate this milestone, we are excited to announce major updates to our site.

Updated Site Design Focused on Content and Navigation

The ARDA updates include a bevy of new features and a new site design that should increase your efficiency when using the ARDA. Our goal is to allow you to research any section of the data archives with only a few mouse clicks. The content within the ARDA continues to grow and remains free of charge thanks to the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, the John Templeton Foundation, the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion, and the Pennsylvania State University.

Frontpage Layout Focusing on New Features

The new front page retains our focus on the major features within the ARDA and continues to provide a customized entry for researchers, congregations, educators, and the press. But the new layout also highlights new additions to the archive, new online features, and new reports.
