IdentifierUMA-SRE-20130018Extent46 boxesLinear Meterage15.02Scope and ContentThis Series consits of data reports relating to polls conducted by or for Irving Saulwick's business entities between 1971 and 2000. These include the Saulwick Age Poll in its various incarnations, as well as studies conducted to support market research for corporate and government clients. In some cases there is some overlap where questions for a private client have been appended to what is largely an Age Poll survey.
Fieldwork and data processing for the surveys was subcontracted to different companies over the years, among them: Beacon Research; AGB McNair / AGB Australia; and in-house at The Age newspaper. Prior to the move to telephone polling in the late 1980s, surveys were conducted by means of face-to-face doorstep polling.
Items in this Series take the form of hard copy, human readable tabulated data reports. Irving Saulwick also retained raw datasets for later surveys stored on floppy disks or the hard drive of his personal computer. These raw data sets are held in Series SAUS0008 and SAUS0009 respectively.
Complementary holdings: datasets for many of the polls are held by the Australian Data Archive.Collection CategoryBusinessAccess StatusOpen for public accessRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this SeriesSearch within this Series
