The purpose of this collaborative project is to extend the Batemen-Foust 1860 data set by collecting data for the same townships from the manuscripts of the 1880 Census of Population and Agriculture. These two data sets will then be linked across households between the two census dates to provide a large scale cross-section/time-series database on families, households, individuals, farms, and communities in the second half of the nineteenth century. The resulting composite database promises important new insights into the development of the American economy at a critical period in its history and offers long term research material for economic historians, demographers, rural sociologists and scholars from other disciplines. It is also of potential interest and relevance for contemporary research since the late nineteenth century witnessed the structural change of America from a rural, agricultural country to an urban-industrial one, a change analogous to the on-going shift from manufacturing to services.

这一合作项目的目的是通过从1880年人口和农业普查手稿中收集同一城镇的数据来扩展巴特曼-福斯特1860年的数据集。然后，这两个数据集将在两次人口普查日期之间跨家庭连接起来，以提供关于十九世纪下半叶家庭、家庭、个人、农场和社区的大规模横截面/时间序列数据库。由此产生的复合数据库有望为美国经济在其历史上的关键时期的发展提供重要的新见解，并为经济史学家、人口学家、农村社会学家和其他学科的学者提供长期研究材料。这也是当代研究的潜在兴趣和相关性，因为19世纪末见证了美国从农村、农业国家到城市-工业国家的结构变化，这一变化类似于正在进行的从制造业向服务业的转变。
