DESCRIPTION (Adapted form applicant's abstract): This proposal seeks funding to make available a remarkable new data source for social and economic research. Volunteers working with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) have invested approximately two million hours transcribing information from the 1880 U.S. Census of Population. This database - which covers the entire U.S. population - has the potential to become our most important resource for the study of the economic and social organization of late-nineteenth century American society. The LDS holds the copyright to these data, but has agreed to make them freely available for academic use in exchange for modest assistance in cleaning the data. In addition to cleaning the data, we propose to convert it into a form suitable for statistical analysis. The needed work can be divided into ten main tasks: (1) correct several technical errors that were introduced inadvertently by the LDS in the course of data processing; (2) identify missing cases so the LBS can re-enter them; (3) correct flags distinguishing separate households and dwellings; (4) check for inconsistencies in family relationship, sex, marital status, and age, and make needed corrections; (5) create comprehensive data dictionaries to classify cases according to standardized coding systems for geographic location, group quarters, and place of birth, and occupation; (6) allocate missing, illegible, and inconsistent data through logical rules and imputation procedures; (7) construct new variables to simplify statistical analysis; (8) develop documentation, including detailed descriptions of the cleaning and data processing methods, and the data collection procedures employed by the LDS; (9) integrate the database and documentation into the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series IPUMS); and (10) disseminate the database via the Internet. The late nineteenth century is a critical period in the study of fertility decline, urbanization, immigration, household composition, and occupational structure. The LDS 1880 database includes a wealth of information on these topics that can only be fully explored through the creation of a new microdata set. The 1880 census database will not only constitute an invaluable resource in its own right but will also enhance the value of the previously created historical microdata samples; used in combination these microdata will constitute our most important resource for the study of nineteenth-century social structure. The database will be distributed via the 'International Integrated Microdata Access System," an infrastructure project recently funded by the National Science Foundation, as well as through conventional data archives.

描述(改编自申请人摘要)：本提案寻求资金以 为社会和经济研究提供一个引人注目的新数据来源。 与耶稣基督后期圣徒教会(LDS)合作的志愿者 已经花费了大约两百万个小时转录来自 1880年美国人口普查。这个数据库覆盖了整个美国。 人口-有可能成为我们最重要的资源 十九世纪末经济社会组织研究 美国社会。 LDS拥有这些数据的版权，但同意免费制作这些数据 可供学术使用，以换取适度的帮助清洁 数据。除了清理数据外，我们还建议将其转换为一种形式 适用于统计分析。所需要的工作可以分为十个主要方面 任务：(1)纠正疏忽引入的几个技术错误 在数据处理过程中由LDS处理；(2)识别失踪案件，以便 LBS可以重新进入它们；(3)更正区分独立家庭和 住房；(4)检查家庭关系、性别、婚姻状况是否不一致 状态和年龄，并进行必要的更正；(5)创建全面的数据 根据标准化编码系统对案例进行分类的词典 (六)地理位置、集体住宿、出生地、职业； 通过逻辑规则和分配丢失、难以辨认和不一致的数据 推算程序；(7)构造新的变量以简化统计 分析；(8)开发文档，包括详细描述 清洁和数据处理方法以及数据收集程序 (9)将数据库和文件纳入 综合公共使用微数据系列(IPUMS)；和(10)传播 通过互联网访问数据库。 19世纪末是生育率研究的关键时期。 衰退、城市化、移民、家庭结构和职业 结构。LDS 1880数据库包含大量有关这些方面的信息 只有通过创建新的微数据才能充分探索的主题 准备好了。1880年人口普查数据库不仅将构成一项宝贵资源 但它本身也会提高以前创造的价值 历史微数据样本；结合使用这些微数据将 构成了我们研究十九世纪最重要的资源 社会结构。 该数据库将通过“国际综合微观数据”发布 接入系统，这是国家最近资助的一个基础设施项目 科学基金会，以及通过传统的数据档案。
