We present the dataset of mills from 1880 and 1920s-1930s in the area of the former Galicia (78,500 km2), now in Ukraine and Poland. We found 4,022 mill locations for 1880 and 3,588 for the 1920s-1930s. We present them as shapefile, GML, GeoJSON, KML formats with attributes for seven types of mills for 1880 and ten types of mills for 1920s-1930s, and mills counted in a 10 km grid.

Our data contains two point layers and six grid layers (10 km side squares). All data is available in an open shapefile, GML, GeoJSON, KML formats, commonly used in Geographic Information Systems. Point layers contain the following attributes for each of the mills: auto-numbered numeric identifier (ID), type (Type), map sheet date (Map_year), longitude (Long), and latitude (Lat). According to the legend of these maps and explanations, the following types of mills can be distinguished for 1880:

1 – Gristmill (ger. Fruchtmühle), 2 – Sawmill (ger. Sägemühle), 3 – Paper mill (ger. Papiermühle), 4 – Powder mill (ger. Pulvermühle), 5 – Fulling mill (ger. Walkmühle), 6 – Windmill (ger. Windmühle), 7 – Ship mill, (ger. Schiffmühle).

For the 1920s-1930s, the following types of mills were distinguished according to the legend of these maps and explanations.

1 – Watermill, 2 – Steam mill, 3 – Sawmill, 4 – Sawmill with water wheel, 5 – Motor sawmill, 6 – Steam sawmill, 7 – Steam mill, 8 – Windmill, 9 – Wind turbine, 10 – Ship mill.

A reference grid designed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the ETRS 1989 LAEA projection (EPSG 9820) was used to create the grid layers, consisting of cells with sides of 10 km. In the set we provide, it contains the following attributes: auto-numbered numeric identifier of the cell (FID), cell code (CellCode), east (EofOrigin) and north (NofOrigin) cell start coordinates and an attribute (Count) in which aggregated mill types are counted for each cell: gristmills, sawmills, windmills

The data can be used in economic, demographic and environmental reconstructions, e.g. to estimate historical anthropopressure related to settlement, agriculture and forestry. Mills are often associated with river structures such as floodgates, dams, and millraces and therefore they are a good example of human interference in river ecosystems. They can also be one criteria for identifying areas where the local population used traditional environmental knowledge. It can be useful for a contemporary assessment of the environment’s suitability for devices using renewable energy sources. Finally, the data on the remains of former mills is suitable for the protection of cultural heritage sites that are technical monuments related to traditional food processing and industry.

This research was funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Republic of Poland under the frame of “National Programme for the Development of Humanities” 2015–2021, as a part of the GASID project (Galicia and Austrian Silesia Interactive Database 1857–1910, 1aH 15 0324 83)

Human resources in science and technology of Galicia grew by 3.66% from 38.2 % of active population in 2010 to 39.6 % of active population in 2011. Since the 1.31% dip in 2009, human resources in science and technology climb by 4.76% in 2011.

Andalusia, with a total number of 8.6 million inhabitants, ranked first on the list of most populous autonomous communities in Spain as of January 1st, 2025. The least populated regions of Spain were the two autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, both with a population of under 90,000 inhabitants that year. The population of Spain has been increasing for many years after experiencing a downward trend between 2012 and 2015, and is projected to grow by nearly half a million by 2027. The population of Spain is dying more than being born Spain has one of the lowest fertility rate in the European Union, with barely 1.29 children per woman. According to the most recent data, more people died in Spain than were being born in 2023, with figures reaching over 434,000 deaths versus 320,000 newborns. Immigration countered this trend One of the key points to balance out this population downtrend in Spain is immigration. Spain’s immigration figures finally started to pick up in 2015 after a downward trend that presumably initiated after the 2008 financial crisis. Nevertheless, Spaniards still migrate is much larger numbers than before the crisis. According to the latest data, nationals aged between 25 and 34 years represented the largest bulk of emigrants.

We evaluate the role of community bonds in the long-term transmission of political values. At the end of WWII, Poland’s borders shifted westward, and the population from the historical region of Galicia (now partly in Ukraine) was displaced to the territory that Poland acquired from Germany. In a quasi-random process some migrants settled in their new villages as a majority group, preserving communal ties, while others ended up in the minority. We leverage this natural experiment of history by surveying the descendants of these Galician migrants. Our research design provides an important empirical test for the theorized effect of communities on long-term value transmission, enabling us to separate the influence of family and community as two competing and complementary mechanisms. We find that respondents in Galicia-majority settlements are today more likely to embrace values associated with Austrian imperial rule and are more similar to respondents whose families avoided displacement.
