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.

这个合作项目的目的是扩大 Batemen-Foust 1860数据集通过收集相同的数据 1880年人口普查手稿中的城镇 和农业 这两个数据集将被连接到 两次普查日期之间的家庭，以提供大规模的 关于家庭、住户、 个人，农场和社区在下半年 世纪。 由此产生的复合数据库承诺 对美国经济发展的重要新见解 经济处于历史的关键时期，并提供长期 为经济历史学家、人口学家、农村 社会学家和其他学科的学者。 也具有 对当代研究的潜在兴趣和相关性， 19世纪末， 美国从一个农村农业国家到一个城市工业国家 第一，类似于制造业正在发生的转变， 服务。
