Once upon a time, the data archives for social science research were only seen in the Western Europe. The Council of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA), in collaboration with the International Asociation for Social Science Information Service & Technology (IASSIST) organized a dedicated workshop, intending to foster activity in the newly emerged countries from the Iron Curtain, in the Eastern Europe. That Amsterdam meeting was so promising that CESSDA went further organizing this network, overcoming a deep-rooted communist instinct of hiding data against any person or institution.
