The North Atlantic Population Project (NAPP)
-
There are five countries in the world that possess completely digitized individual-level censuses
for the late nineteenth century: Canada, Great Britain, Iceland, Norway, and the United States.
At the end of the nineteenth century, these five nations were closely connected by economic ties
and migration flows. All were undergoing rapid social, economic and demographic transitions. The
recent availability of an extraordinary volume of individual-level census data in all five countries
creates unprecedented opportunities for international collaborative and comparative research.
This proposal seeks funding to develop a web-based collaboration that will maximize the usefulness
of these data for understanding the North Atlantic world as it entered the industrial age.

and abroad. DDB:s research activities include method development, service for researchers, provision of guest research posts, seminars, conferences etc. The Ume unit bears the main responsibility for research service. A certain amount of service is carried out by the Haparanda unit, mainly the provision of source files.
The Jrn unit is responsible for all genealogical service, e.g. genealogical research, that is requested by researches or members of the public.

The Danish Demographic Database
- The Danish Demographic Database is the cooperative efforts of the Danish Data Archive, the Danish Emigration Archives and the Centre of Microfilming of the Danish
State Arhives and the project is subsidized by Kulturnet Danmark.
The purpose of the database is to make it possible to search directly in censuses and the Danish emigrant database. It is also possible to see the original sources as they
are made into images you can click on as soon as you have the desired data.
The census database does now cover the period 1787-1911 but they are not complete as only a few of the original sources have been computerized.
The emigration database covers the period 1868-1900.
