PUBLIC USE MICRODATA SAMPLE OF THE 1910 CENSUS

描述(改编自申请者摘要)：该项目将创建一个 具有全国代表性的100个公共使用微数据样本(PLUMS) 1910年美国人口普查将通过全国人口普查中心传播 档案馆，大学间政治和社会研究联盟， 并通过互联网。1910年纸币的制作包括七个步骤：1) 数据录入约946,290人的资料 统计员原始手稿，包括919,720份1：100的扁平样本 总人口和26,570名土著人口中每100人中有1人超额抽样调查 美国人；2)开发词典来翻译每个字母条目 转换成与现有的微数据系列兼容的数字代码 人口普查年；3)通过一致性检查评估样本质量， 随机盲验证，并与 出版人口普查卷；4)编辑、清理和分配失踪人口， 逻辑规则和归罪导致数据难以辨认和不一致 程序；5)构建关于家庭构成的新变量， 家庭内部关系、经济地位和种族；6)发展 文档；以及7)将样本和文档集成到 综合公共用途微数据系列(IPUMS)。 1910年的人口普查是20世纪初唯一一次 包括关于再婚、就业状况、所说语言或 退伍军人身份和第一次包括母语问题的人口普查， 母亲的母语、父亲的母语、行业和工人阶层。 与1920和1930年的人口普查不同，它包括对以下几个方面的关键调查 生育子女数、在世子女数和婚姻持续时间。 这些变量揭示了移民和移民步伐的加快 工业化，以及生育率和死亡率的下降。因此，一个样本 1910年的人口普查不仅将在现有的系列中提供关键的联系 公众使用的样本；这也将大大丰富我们对 美国社会正处于关键时期。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Applicant's Abstract): This project will create a nationally representative 1-in-100 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) of the 1910 United States Population Census to be disseminated through the National Archives, the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research, and via the Internet. Preparation of the 1910 PUMS involves seven steps: 1) Data entry of information on approximately 946,290 individuals from the original enumerators' manuscripts, including a flat 1-in-100 sample of 919,720 persons in the general population and a 1-in-100 oversample of 26,570 Native Americans; 2) Development of dictionaries to translate each alphabetic entry into numeric codes compatible with the existing series of microdata for other census years; 3) Evaluation of sample quality through consistency checks, random blind verification, and comparison with aggregate statistics in the published census volumes; 4) Editing, cleaning, and allocation of missing, illegible, and inconsistent data through logical rule and imputation procedures; 5) Construction of new variables on household composition, relationships within families, economic status, and ethnicity; 6) Development of documentation; and 7) Integration of the sample and documentation into the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS). The 1910 population census is the only early-twentieth century census to include information about remarriage, employment status, language spoken, or veteran status and the first census to include questions on mother tongue, mother's mother tongue, father's mother tongue, industry, and class of worker. Unlike the 1920 and 1930 censuses, it includes key inquiries on number of children ever born, number of children surviving, and duration of marriage. These variables shed light on the accelerating pace of immigration and industrialization, and the decline of fertility and mortality. Thus, a sample of the 1910 census will not only provide a critical link in the existing series of public use samples; it will also greatly enrich our understanding of American society in a pivotal period.
