当代中国社会生活资料中心成立于2011年10月，是复旦大学社会发展与公共政策学院的学术共享与学科发展平台。现任中心主任为张乐天教授。
2012年11月，中心与美国洛杉矶加州大学（UCLA）当代中国研究中心合作设立“复旦大学-UCLA社会生活比较研究中心”，进一步推动国际合作研究的开展。
中心成立伊始，即与江苏省吴江市政府、江苏省东海县政府、浙江省海宁市盐官镇政府、上海市共和新路街道、上海市文广集团（上海音像资料馆）等单位签署了合作协议，共同建设中国社会生活资料库，并与中国社会科学院当代中国研究所、贵州民族大学、海南研究院、中国收藏家协会票证专业委员会等国内机构建立起协作关系。
一、资料收集与出版
经过五年来的努力，中心已经抢救、搜集和整理了100多批社会生活类资料，收集的地域范围涉及20多个省市，侧重收集长江流域、钱塘江流域的民间资料，目前馆藏资料已在全国同类型机构中名列前茅。
张乐天主任中标2012年国家社会科学基金重大项目“当代苏浙赣黔农村基层档案资料搜集、整理与出版”。中心以此为契机，联合复旦大学图书馆、复旦大学出版社、博睿（Brill）学术出版社合作整理、出版馆藏资料，自2017年起共同推出由张乐天教授主编的《当代中国社会生活资料长编》，为下一步深化研究打下良好的基础。
张乐天教授主持的《当代中国农民的脚印——浙北村落五十年》八卷本，已经获得上海文化发展基金与国家出版基金项目资助，近期将由复旦大学出版社出版。
张乐天教授组织团队，在法国高等社会科学研究院（École des hautes études en sciences sociales France）的支持下，编辑完成了电子出版物《中国田野调查——张乐天联民村数据库》（http://www.zltfieldwork.com）。该数据库包括了详细的调查资料，还录制大量的村民访谈资料，拍摄众多的图片和录像，首次全方位展现半个多世纪以来浙江北部一个普通村落的生活场景与生命历程。数据库于2015年由中国社会科学文献出版社正式向国内外发行。
