In 2023, the SCS launched a new Data Committee, which was tasked with centralizing and expanding the organization’s data collection and publication efforts. This Committee continues the admirable work done by Professional Matters, which is collected below. In the coming months, the Data Committee will be expanding and re-organizing the material collected here. For now, we are excited to share the results of the 2024 Census, on demographic and career data in the field. That data can be found at the link below.

- The web site of the Humanities Indicators Project of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences offers data relevant to a number of issues in the humanities. In September 2014 the Academy posted results of its survey of humanities departments for the 2012-2013 academic year. For the first time that survey included departments in classical studies.
- The American Academy of Arts and Sciences surveyed Classics departments for a second time during the 2017-18 academic year. Their findings illustrate information about Classics students and faculty, careers in Classics, and digital resources. This survey offers statistics about Classical Studies programs at different schools and compares these numbers with those from the last round of surveys in 2012. The results of the survey can be found here: https://www.amacad.org/humanities-indicators/profile-classical-studies-department-hds-3. The full description and details of the survey are available here: https://www.amacad.org/sites/default/files/media/document/2020-05/hds3_classical_studies_profile.pdf
