title: London Stepney Burials with Fees, 1733-1843

description: &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Few mortality statistics available for the eighteenth and early nineteenth century differentiate by wealth or social status, although evidence suggests that a social gradient in mortality may have emerged in this period. These individual level burials were collected to analyse variations and changes in mortality in London's populous East End manufacturing district, in a very large parish where extant daybook accounts itemise burial costs, which varied according to services provided. These data consist of parish burial account book burials and parish register burials filling in gaps where there were no extant/accessible burial accounts books for St Dunstan Stepney, London between 1733 and 1843. This produces a continuous series of burials except for a gap beginning July 1808 and ending January 1812. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Transcriptions include full names, burial fees as a potential indicator of social status, and hamlet/street address. Also in some periods ages and causes of death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;All extant St Dunstan Stepney parish burial records in manuscript burial account books were transcribed, and manuscript parish register burial records were also transcribed to fill in gaps where there were no extant/accessible burial accounts books, between 1733 and 1843. These records were initially input into Excel spreadsheet tabulations by Jacob Field and Elli Warmington, directed by Gill Newton using the instructions copied in the ReadMe file documentation, and then harmonised into an Access relational database, from which the text files in this data collection derive.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Further information may be found on the &lt;a title="CAMPOP Mortality Research Project Website" href="https://www.campop.geog.cam.ac.uk/research/projects/migrationmortalitymedicalisation/"&gt;CAMPOP Mortality Research Project&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: InscriptiFact -- an image database of inscriptions and artifacts

description: The InscriptiFact Collection is designed to allow access via the Internet to high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions and artifacts, primarily from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean Worlds. The targeted inscriptions constitute some of the world’s earliest written records, which are mostly housed in a number of international museums and libraries, as well as field projects where inscriptions still remain in situ. Included, for example, are, selected Dead Sea Scrolls; cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, Persia, Canaan and Egypt; early Jewish papyri from Egypt; lapidary inscriptions, primarily from Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus; inscriptions on a variety of hard media (e.g., ostraca, copper, semi-precious stones, jar handles) mostly written in early Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ammonite and Edomite; and much more. These ancient texts are foundational documents that serve as a point of reference for Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the cultures out of which they emerged. The name "InscriptiFact" is intended to convey the concept of a scholarly archive based on "facts" about "inscriptions" and "artifacts." West Semitic Research Project (WSRP) under the auspices of the University of Southern California (USC) is broadly acknowledged as a leader in the application of photographic and digital technologies to capture and analyze data of ancient texts. The West Semitic Research image archive now contains approximately 1,500,000 images. Important!

title: Prices Survey Microdata, 1996-2020: Secure Access

description: The &lt;i&gt;Prices Survey Microdata&lt;/i&gt; include the underlying price data used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to produce the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), the Retail Prices Index (RPI) and associated price indices. The CPI has become the main domestic measure of inflation for macroeconomic purposes in the UK. Since December 2003 it has been used for the inflation target that the Bank of England is required to achieve. The RPI is the most long-standing measure of inflation in the UK, and its uses have included the indexation of pensions, state benefits and index-linked gilts. The study also includes the data underlying the Producer Prices Index.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; There are four levels of sampling for local price collection: locations/shopping areas; outlets/shops within locations; representative items/goods and services; and products and varieties (price quotes).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; There are two basic price collection methods: local and central. Local collection is used for most items; prices are obtained from outlets in about 150 locations around the country. Some 110,000 quotations are obtained by this method. Normally, collectors must visit the outlet, but prices for some items may be collected by telephone. Central collection is used for items where all the prices can be collected centrally by the ONS with no field work. These prices can be further sub-divided into two categories, depending on their subsequent use: 1) central shops, where the prices are combined with prices obtained locally, and 2) central items, where the prices are used on their own to construct centrally calculated indices. There are about 130 items for which the prices are collected centrally.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The retail price data include the locations containing the shopping outlets from which the price quotes were obtained. These locations are intended to be broadly representative of a central shopping area and the areas where the local shopping population tend to live. The data also include the regions in which those shopping areas are located.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; The producer prices data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; For the 12th edition (May 2020), the Item Indices and Price Quotes monthly data files have been added for October 2019 to February 2020. In addition the Item Indices data files for January and March 2019 have been updated. Two new Quality and Methodology Information (QMI) documentation files have also been added.&lt;br&gt;

title: Vacancy Survey, 2005-2020: Secure Access
title: VS

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Vacancy Survey&lt;/i&gt; (VS) is a statutory, monthly survey of businesses in Great Britain, which asks the single question, how many job vacancies did a business have in total on a specified date for which they were actively seeking recruits from outside their organisation. Vacancy statistics provide important information about the demand for labour, and give an early indication of what is happening in the labour market. They are used for monitoring and policy-making purposes by UK government departments and Eurostat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Questionnaires are sent to a sample of approximately 6,000 businesses on the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) every month, approached mainly via head offices rather than by local offices. The IDBR is a live register of data on businesses collected by HM Revenue and Customs via VAT and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records. Businesses return their &lt;i&gt;Vacancy Survey&lt;/i&gt; data to the Office for National Statistics using key presses on a telephone rather than returning a paper questionnaire. A small number of businesses have elected to receive a paper questionnaire which is returned in the pre-paid envelope provided.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The survey covers all sectors of the economy, with the exception of employment agencies and agriculture, forestry and fishing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;These data contain IDBR reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the eighth edition (May 2020), annual data files for 2018 and 2019, and a data file for January and February 2020 have been added.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Parish Register Aggregate Analysis 1538-1839 Restructured: Baptisms, Burials and Marriages from 404 English Parishes
title: 404 Parish Register Aggregate Analysis 1541-1871

description: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This &lt;/span&gt;collection &lt;span&gt;represents the data used to reconstruct the pre-Census population history of England by Wrigley and Schofield, in restructured form. It consists of counts of parish register events from 404 English sample parishes. These data were originally used to estimate national totals of births, deaths and marriages. From these population growth rates were derived and hence the overall English population in each year between 1539 and 1836, but these data are also relevant for local studies of particular parishes or regions, and for studies of mortality variations and crises, which was the purpose for which this restructuring was undertaken. This data collection contains tab-delimited text files of monthly and annual historical counts of baptisms, marriages and burials from parish registers in 404 English parishes, with missing data interpolated, for varying coverage periods in each parish, including a core period of 1662 to 1811.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Volunteer local historians counted events from accessible parish registers with apparently good coverage, from a list distributed by Tony Wrigley at CAMPOP. Counts were recorded on paper pro formas. These were digitised many years ago by CAMPOP into the Population History of England database. Quality checking of count accuracy per volunteer was performed by Roger Schofield and inaccurate contributions discarded. In their current restructured form these files were derived by Gill Newton at CAMPOP from the Population History of England database.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Volume seven of a manuscript by Gentaku Ōtsuki and Kōkyō Shimura who drew from four Japanese fishermen the story of their voyage around the world during repeated interviews. The Kankai Ibun is an account of their journey when they were sent off-course en route to the capital, Edo. The fishermen were rescued by a Russian ship and taken to late 18th / early 19th century Europe and, most especially, Russia.; The cargo ship, Wakamiyamaru, left from the port of Ishimaki in Sendai-han, today’s Miyagi Prefecture, in Japan carrying rice and lumber with 16 crew members for Edo, today’s Tokyo, on November 27th, 1793. Shipwrecked and drifted in the Pacific Ocean for half a year, they finally landed in one of the islands of the Andreanof Islands, a part of the Aleutian Islands on May 10th, 1794. They were transferred to Irkutsk by Russians where they stayed until the spring of 1803. They were then called in by Alexander I of Russia to St. Petersburg where they stayed from April to June in 1803, and from where they started their journey back home. They were included in the Rezanov mission on the first Russian global circumnavigation by a ship Nadezhda. It took them 16 months to reach the port of Nagasaki, Japan in September, 1804 since they left in June, 1803. Of the sixteen, five crewmen got on board. Four returned home in Sendai; one, who had become an interpreter, returned to Russia with Rezanov.

description: The International Energy Agency (IEA) datasets published by the Energy Statistics Division (ESD) contain annual and quarterly time series data from 1960 onwards on energy production, trade, stocks, transformation, consumption, prices and taxes as well as on greenhouse gas emissions for  OECD Member countries and non-OECD countries.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In OECD Member countries the data is collected by official bodies (most often the national statistics office in each country) from firms, government agencies and industry organisations and are then reported to the IEA using questionnaires to ensure international comparability. In non-OECD countries the data are collected directly from government and industry contacts and from national publications.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The &lt;i&gt;International Energy Agency (IEA) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions from Fuel Combustion&lt;/i&gt; database provides a comparative analysis of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, a major source of anthropogenic emissions. The data is designed to assist in understanding the evolution of these emissions on a country, regional and worldwide basis. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the default methods and emission factors given in the 2006 GLs for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in June 2005 and are updated semi-annually.&lt;br&gt;

title: Independent Midwives UK Research Database, 2002-2012
title: IMUK Research Database

description: &lt;p&gt;The Independent Midwives UK (IMUK) Research Database project was set up in 2002 as a prospective data collection. The aim was to collect a wide range of data from the IMs' case notes, covering antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care. Each client was asked to sign a consent form giving permission for the data to be used. Research databases are normally designed to provide the minimum dataset that will satisfy the research requirements. The IMUK database took the opposite approach, collecting a wide range of data from the outset, with a 100% sample. This decision was made since it was neither practicable nor possible to contact clients for corrections and additions after the maternity care episode was completed. This has resulted in a dataset both comprehensive in scope and rich in detail. It may be particularly interesting because of the high proportion of home births (over 60%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Independent Midwives UK (IMUK) is a membership organisation for independent midwives (IMs) in the UK. All IMUK's full members are professionally trained midwives, and are regulated by the NMC. IMs work autonomously as lead health professionals for maternity care, booking clients outside the NHS system, although almost all clients booked are also entitled to GP, specialist and emergency care as NHS patients. More than 50% of births attended by independent midwives are home births.&lt;/p&gt;
