Census 1947 New website Life Courses in Context (LCC)
New site launched on June 22, 2004: http://www.lifecoursesincontext.nl/, a collaboratory based on Dutch population registers and censuses (19th and 20th century).

Three million EURO
The HSN in collaboration with the Netherlands Institute for Scientific Information Services (NIWI) is granted a fund of over three million EURO by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) for the project 'Life courses in context'. The programme's objective is to develop a database with about 40.000 individual life courses of people born in the period of 1863-1922. This database with microdata will be supplemented with core data on the level of the municipalities. This will be done by digitalizing the results of the ten-yearly censuses as they were taken between 1859 and 1947. Above this amount the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) has granted 600.000 EURO. For more information see http://www.lifecoursesincontext.nl/plan.html.
