The surveys were part of the 'Towards a Global Life Course' project to improve cooperation between important players in the fields of historical micro-data, which was funded by NWO, IISG, ICPSR and DDB Umea. <br><br> This database contains the filled out questionnaires, anonymized by obscuring the name, email address, and telephone number of the respondent. <br><br> At the time they wrote:<br> <i>The historical community is now fortunate to have a growing number of large-scale, public databases of life histories from the past. Some of these databases have been under development for a long time, such as the Demographic Database in Umea, the Utah genealogical database, the Scania database in Lund and the PRDH and BALSAC in Quebec. Others are relatively recent, such as the Historical Sample of the Netherlands, and data collection activities are underway in other European countries as well as Japan and China. <br><br> For a complete overview of objectives, sources and contents regarding these public databases, see the following questionnaires (available in pdf). <br><br> - BALSAC population register, Canada <br> - Base TRA Patrimoine, France <br> - COR sample, Belgium <br> - Demographic Data Base, Umeå University, Sweden <br> - Founders & Survivors: Tasmanian life courses in historical context <br> - Geneva Database <br> - Historical Database of the Liège Region <br> - Historical Sample of the Netherlands <br> - Koori Health Research Database 1855-1930, Australia <br> - Melbourne Lying-In Hospital Cohort: 1857-1900 <br> - Norwegian Historical Data Centre <br> - Registre de la population du Québec ancien <br> - Utah Population Database <br> </i>2006200620062006Aranjuez Data Base.pdfapplication/pdfBALSAC population register.pdfapplication/pdfBase TRA Patrimoine.pdfapplication/pdfChina Multigenerational Panel Database-Liaoning.pdf2016-09-22application/pdfChina Multigenerational Panel Database- Shuangcheng.pdf2016-09-22application/pdfCOR-sample.pdfapplication/pdfFounders & Survivors.pdfapplication/pdfGeneva Database.pdfapplication/pdfHistorical Database of the Liège Region.pdfapplication/pdfHistorical Sample of the Netherlands.pdfapplication/pdfKoori Health Research Database.pdfapplication/pdfMelbourne Lying-In Hospital Cohort.pdfapplication/pdfNorwegian Historical Data Centre.pdfapplication/pdfPopum.pdfapplication/pdfRegistre de la population du Québec ancien.pdfapplication/pdfScanian Demographic Database.pdfapplication/pdfScotland.pdfapplication/pdfThe Roteman Database.pdfapplication/pdfUtah Population Database.pdfapplication/pdf
