Sampling procedure

MICRODATA SOURCE: Department of the Interior

SAMPLE SIZE (person records): 273596.

SAMPLE DESIGN: 1-in-100 national random sample of the free population. African-American slaves are not included in this dataset. Individual-level data on the 1860 slave population is available at the

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The census operation involved six forms. Form 1 was used to enumerate free persons and collected information on individual characteristics. Form 2 was used to enumerate slaves. Other forms were used to record information about agriculture and industry.

This data collection contains information about the population of each county, town, and city of the United States in 1850 and 1860. Specific variables include tabulations of white, black, and slave males and females, and aggregate population for each town. Foreign-born population, total population of each county, and centroid latitudes and longitudes of each county and state were also compiled. (Source: downloaded from ICPSR 7/13/10)

Please Note: This dataset is part of the historical CISER Data Archive Collection and is also available at ICPSR -- https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR09424.v2. We highly recommend using the ICPSR version as they made this dataset available in multiple data formats.

These data on 19th- and early 20th-century police department and arrest behavior were collected between 1975 and 1978 for a study of police and crime in the United States. Raw and aggregated time-series data are presented in Parts 1 and 3 on 23 American cities for most years during the period 1860-1920. The data were drawn from annual reports of police departments found in the Library of Congress or in newspapers and legislative reports located elsewhere. Variables in Part 1, for which the city is the unit of analysis, include arrests for drunkenness, conditional offenses and homicides, persons dismissed or held, police personnel, and population. Part 3 aggregates the data by year and reports some of these variables on a per capita basis, using a linear interpolation from the last decennial census to estimate population. Part 2 contains data for 267 United States cities for the period 1880-1890 and was generated from the 1880 federal census volume, REPORT ON THE DEFECTIVE, DEPENDENT, AND DELINQUENT CLASSES, published in 1888, and from the 1890 federal census volume, SOCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. Information includes police personnel and expenditures, arrests, persons held overnight, trains entering town, and population.

This dataset is about book subjects. It has 2 rows and is filtered where the books is United States gubernatorial elections, 1776-1860 : the official results by state and county. It features 10 columns including number of authors, number of books, earliest publication date, and latest publication date.

Demographic, occupational, and economic information for over 21,000 rural households in the northern United States in 1860 are presented in this dataset. The data were obtained from the manuscript agricultural and population schedules of the 1860 United States Census and are provided for all households in a single township from each of 102 randomly-selected counties in sixteen northern states. Variables in the dataset include farm values, livestock, and crop production figures for the households which owned or operated farms (over half the households sampled), as well as value of real and personal estate, color, sex, age, literacy, school attendance, occupation, place of birth, and parents' nationality of all individuals residing in the sampled townships.

The Census Tree is the largest-ever database of record links among the historical U.S. censuses, with over 700 million links for people living in the United States between 1850 and 1940. These links allow researchers to construct a longitudinal dataset that is highly representative of the population, and that includes women, Black Americans, and other under-represented populations at unprecedented rates. Each .csv file consists of a crosswalk between the two years indicated in the filename, using the IPUMS histids.

The dataset is a compilation of prices of public securities (equities and bonds) traded in nine United States securities markets and in London during the period between the United States Revolutionary and Civil Wars. The data were gathered by scanning early United States periodicals chronicling the period from 1786-1862. The data were concentrated on what were termed "runs" of securities quotations broken down by days, weeks, or months for each of the ten cities in the data set. Runs are series of bids and offer quotes for different securities and maturities. Within each part (market), the data were divided by issuer sectors or types. There may be some redundancy in the data, because when there was doubt about categorizing similar issues under a key code they were categorized under separate codes.

Abstract (en): This collection includes county-level data from the United States Censuses of Agriculture for the years 1840 to 2012. The files provide data about the number, types, output, and prices of various agricultural products, as well as information on the amount, expenses, sales, values, and production of machinery. Most of the basic crop output data apply to the previous harvest year. Data collected also included the population and value of livestock, the number of animals slaughtered, and the size, type, and value of farms. Part 46 of this collection contains data from 1980 through 2010. Variables in part 46 include information such as the average value of farmland, number and value of buildings per acre, food services, resident population, composition of households, and unemployment rates. ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.. Response Rates: Not applicable.

These instructional materials were prepared for use with AGRICULTURAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC RECORDS FOR HOUSEHOLDS IN THE NORTH, 1860 (ICPSR 7420), compiled by Fred Bateman and James D. Foust. The data file and accompanying documentation are provided to assist educators in (an SPSS portable file) instructing students about the history of agriculture and rural life in the North, just prior to the Civil War. An instructor's handout has also been included. This handout contains the following sections, among others: (1) General goals for student analysis of quantitative datasets, (2) Specific goals in studying this dataset, (3) Suggested appropriate courses for use of the dataset, (4) Tips for using the dataset, and (5) Related secondary source readings. Demographic, occupational, and economic information for over 21,000 rural households in the northern United States in 1860 are presented in the dataset. The data were obtained from the manuscript agricultural and population schedules of the 1860 United States Census and are provided for all households in a single township from each of the 102 randomly-selected counties in 16 northern states. Variables in the dataset include farm values, livestock, and crop production figures for the households that owned or operated farms (over half the households sampled), as well as value of real and personal estate, color, sex, age, literacy, school attendance, occupation, place of birth, and parents' nationality of all individuals residing in the sampled townships.

A dataset to advance the study of life-cycle interactions of biomedical and socioeconomic factors in the aging process. The EI project has assembled a variety of large datasets covering the life histories of approximately 39,616 white male volunteers (drawn from a random sample of 331 companies) who served in the Union Army (UA), and of about 6,000 African-American veterans from 51 randomly selected United States Colored Troops companies (USCT). Their military records were linked to pension and medical records that detailed the soldiers������?? health status and socioeconomic and family characteristics. Each soldier was searched for in the US decennial census for the years in which they were most likely to be found alive (1850, 1860, 1880, 1900, 1910). In addition, a sample consisting of 70,000 men examined for service in the Union Army between September 1864 and April 1865 has been assembled and linked only to census records. These records will be useful for life-cycle comparisons of those accepted and rejected for service. Military Data: The military service and wartime medical histories of the UA and USCT men were collected from the Union Army and United States Colored Troops military service records, carded medical records, and other wartime documents. Pension Data: Wherever possible, the UA and USCT samples have been linked to pension records, including surgeon''''s certificates. About 70% of men in the Union Army sample have a pension. These records provide the bulk of the socioeconomic and demographic information on these men from the late 1800s through the early 1900s, including family structure and employment information. In addition, the surgeon''''s certificates provide rich medical histories, with an average of 5 examinations per linked recruit for the UA, and about 2.5 exams per USCT recruit. Census Data: Both early and late-age familial and socioeconomic information is collected from the manuscript schedules of the federal censuses of 1850, 1860, 1870 (incomplete), 1880, 1900, and 1910. Data Availability: All of the datasets (Military Union Army; linked Census; Surgeon''''s Certificates; Examination Records, and supporting ecological and environmental variables) are publicly available from ICPSR. In addition, copies on CD-ROM may be obtained from the CPE, which also maintains an interactive Internet Data Archive and Documentation Library, which can be accessed on the Project Website. * Dates of Study: 1850-1910 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples * Sample Size: ** Union Army: 35,747 ** Colored Troops: 6,187 ** Examination Sample: 70,800 ICPSR Link: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06836

This study presents 1860 data on population and farm production in 5,228 farms located in 405 major cotton-producing counties in the South. The data was compiled from the agriculture, slave, and population schedules of the 1860 United States manuscript Census. For each farm, variables describing farm land, machinery, crops, and livestock are included, as well as production figures for specific crops and types of livestock on the farm. The population variables tabulate the free and slave residents of each farm by sex, race, and age in five- or ten-year categories. This data set contains information of farm production and population residing on farms in the major cotton producing counties of the southern United States. Variables include: county code number; soil type in county; no. farms sampled in county; detailed commodity production of each farm, including acreage, value of farm and machinery, numbers of head of livestock, value of livestock, production of field crops, value of orchard products, wine production, value of market garden products, production of dairy products, production of 'textile' crops, value of home manufactures, value of animals slaughtered; numbers of farm residents by age categories, sex, and status, including free, slave, farm laborer, overseer, non-farm worker.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The aim of the originating project was to increase understanding of the past and possible future impact of increased international trade, mobility and investment on: i) Differences in income levels between countries (divergence or convergence, and - if convergence - levelling up or levelling down) ii) The relative and real wages of different sorts of 'skilled' workers This aim was addressed in four main ways. The first was to formalise ideas about the disaggregation of skilled workers, and the overlap between the concepts of skill and technology, by theoretical modelling. The second was to test hypotheses suggested by theory on evidence for all countries over the past 30 years. The third was to test hypotheses suggested by theory on evidence for skilled wages in developed countries over the past 30 years. The final way the objective was addressed was by testing the hypotheses suggested by theory against evidence from developed countries over the past two centuries. The data collection is the result of the data gathering exercise undertaken for this fourth approach. Main Topics: The dataset brings together a wide range of statistical information relating to patterns of globalisation, technology and wage inequality in a selection of now-developed countries between 1870 and 1970. The countries included are: United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden and Denmark. The information is classified into six broad sections: wages, migration, employment, trade, production and technology. Wages: Wages of skilled relative to unskilled manual workers, United States, 1870-1970 Wages of non-manual relative to manual workers, United States, 1890-1939 Wages of broad occupational categories, United States, 1939-1960 Summary of relative wages, United States, 1870-1970 Wages of non-manual and manual workers, Canada, 1905-1959 Wages of skilled and unskilled manual workers, Canada, 1900-1960 Summary of relative wages, Canada, 1901-1960 Wages of skilled and unskilled manual workers, Australia, 1870-1960 Wages of skilled and unskilled manual workers, United Kingdom, 1870-1968 Wages of broad occupational categories, United Kingdom, 1871-1970 Summary of relative wages, United Kingdom, 1870-1968 Wages of skilled and unskilled manual workers, Germany, 1871-1962 Wages of skilled and unskilled manual workers, France, 1873-1959 Wages of skilled and unskilled manual workers, Sweden, 1870-1962 Summary of relative wages, Sweden, 1873-1959 Wages of skilled and unskilled manual workers, Denmark, 1870-1965 Wages of clerical relative to manual workers, United States, Canada and United Kingdom, 1870-1965 Migration: Immigration by occupation, United States, 1870-1965 Immigration by occupation, Canada, 1904-1951 Summary of immigration by skill group, Canada, 1881-1951 Total immigration, Canada, 1870-1960 Emigration by occupation, United Kingdom, 1877-1913 Emigration from Ireland by occupation, 1875-1913 Summary of emigration by skill group, United Kingdom, 1877-1913 Total migration, United Kingdom, 1870-1922 Emigration by occupation, Germany, 1871-1924 Summary of emigration by skill group, Germany, 1871-1924 Migration by occupation, Sweden, 1870-1924 Summary of migration by skill group, Sweden, 1871-1924 Emigration by occupation, Denmark, 1872-1924 Summary of emigration by skill group, Denmark, 1872-1924 Employment: Labour force by occupation, United States, 1900-1970 Employment by broad sector, United States, 1870-1960 Gainful workers in manufacturing by industry, United States, 1870-1930 Employment in manufacturing by industry, United States, 1899-1960 Labour force by occupation, Canada, 1891-1961 Employment by broad sector, Canada, 1891-1971 Employment by manufacturing industry, Canada, 1911-1971 Employment by occupation, Australia, 1911-1971 Employment by broad sector, Australia, 1891-1969 Employment in manufacturing by industry, Australia, 1891-1969 Employment by occupation, United Kingdom, 1911-1971 Labour force by broad sector, United Kingdom, 1871-1971 Employment by manufacturing industry, United Kingdom, 1871-1961 Labour force by occupation, Germany, 1882-1961 Employment by broad sector and by manufacturing industry, Germany, 1870-1960 Employment by broad sector and by manufacturing industry, France, 1906-1954 Labour force by broad sector, Sweden, 1870-1960 Employment in manufacturing by industry, Sweden, 1870-1930 Labour force by broad sector, Denmark, 1870-1960 Trade: Exports by commodity, United States, 1870-1965 Imports by commodity, United States, 1870-1965 Trade statistics, United States, 1870-1965 Exports by commodity, Canada, 1870-1965 Imports by commodity, Canada, 1870-1960 Trade statistics, Canada, 1870-1965 Total exports, Australia, 1870-1965 Total imports, Australia, 1870-1965 Trade statistics, Australia, 1870-1965 Exports by commodity, United Kingdom, 1870-1965 Imports by commodity, United Kingdom, 1870-1965 Trade statistics, United Kingdom, 1870-1965 Exports by commodity, Germany, 1880-1960 Imports by commodity, Germany, 1880-1960 Trade statistics, Germany, 1880-1960 Exports by commodity, France, 1870-1959 Imports by commodity, France, 1870-1959 Trade statistics, France, 1870-1959 Exports by commodity, Sweden, 1870-1965 Imports by commodity, Sweden, 1870-1965 Trade statistics, Sweden, 1870-1965 Exports by commodity, Denmark, 1870-1965 Imports by commodity, Denmark, 1870-1965 Trade statistics, Denmark, 1870-1965 Production: Production by industry group, United States, 1869-1919 Production by commodity group, United States, 1869-1913 Production indices by manufacturing sector, United Kingdom, 1860-1914 Production indices by manufacturing sector, Germany, 1860-1913 GDP per capita in United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden, and Denmark, 1870-1965 Technology: Number of patents granted in 23 countries, 1870-1970 Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.
