Title: Historical, demographic, economic, and social data, the United States, 1790-1970
Description: The Consortium can supply basic county and state-level ecological or descriptive data for the years from 1790 to 1970. The majority of these ecological datasets were archived from the United States federal census reports of 1790-1970, although selected bodies of data from other sources have been integrated into the collection as well. The ecological data presently exist in the form of thirty-eight datasets. With one exception, all county-level data from each decennial census have been combined into one dataset per census. A list of the variables included in the collection has been compiled and sent to the Official Representative at Consortium member institutions. These lists reflect the datasets as presently constituted, and scholars at member institutions are asked to consult these lists when preparing their data requests. Individuals at non-member institutions may receive these lists on request.
