A (continuous, ongoing and incomplete) survey of data we think is relevant for quantitative conflict research. We also use this information to build the PRIO-GRID repository, i.e,. downloading and storing files, reading locally downloaded files, map and read correct citation information, etc. This is work in progress, and more will come here. If you want to suggest data to this survey (your own or other data you think should be here), you can do that here: https://github.com/prio-data/priogrid/issues/new/choose.
