Title: The Minnesota Population Center Data Integration Projects: Challenges of Harmonizing Census Microdata Across Time and Place

Citation Type: Miscellaneous

Publication Year: 2005

Abstract: The Minnesota Population Center is developing three large historical census microdata series: the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS-USA), the International Integrated Microdata Series (IPUMS-International), and the North Atlantic Population Project (NAPP). Despite many similarities, each database presents particular challenges because of variations in source materials, organization of the projects, and institutional or legal constraints. This paper describes how the challenges we face differ across ourprojects.
