The author describes the historical demographic data bases developed in Umea, Sweden, and elsewhere in the Scandinavian countries and their use for the purposes of demographic research and social history. The possibility of developing similar projects in Belgium, which has numerous population registers, is also explored. Quarterly Journal of Social Affairs, Vol. 2, No. 1, Jan 1986. The authors describe a project, begun in 1981, to locate, list, and annotate all the published work based substantially on the census enumerators' books for nineteenth- century censuses for England and Wales. The results are currently available in a computerized file, enabling a variety of searches by topic, geographical area, and type of population.
Information is provided on using the data and the computerized bibliography.
The authors note that, subsequently, data for censuses of Scotland and Ireland have been added. New York Public Library. Department of Economics Research Paper, No. 85-1, Jan 1985. The authors investigate the relationship between expectations formation and demographic variables in a primarily agrarian economy using data for Sweden for the years 1815-1913.
