The Archiv für Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik (translated to the Archives for Social Science and Social Welfare) was a journal for the social sciences in Germany between 1904 and 1933.

Its first editors were Edgar Jaffé, Werner Sombart and Max Weber.

Edgar Jaffé bought the Archive in 1903 for 60000 Mark from the Social Democrat Heinrich Braun, who had founded and edited the journal under the title Archiv für soziale Gesetzgebung und Statistik (Archive for social legislation and statistics) since 1888.

Max Weber published his seminal essay The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism first in the Archiv für Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik in two parts in 1904 and 1905.

In 1933, when the Nazis gained power in Germany, the last editor of the Archive, Emil Lederer and half of the editorial staff of the journal were forced to emigrate, the Archive ceased to exist.
