The data contain a wide breadth of information even in comparison to the 1850 US census. The variables are described in international.ipums.org/inte…. Most variables have been released in the initial phase and more will be released in the future as we harmonize more variables.

In my paper for Population Studies 75th special issue, I argue that it's important for historical demographers to be aware of what's going on in 'contemporary' demography AND for 'contemporary' demographers to pay attention to historical studies

This book would be a "must read" for demographers at any time, but seems particularly pressing in the current moment. Emily Klancher Merchant (@ashleystreet) tells the (hi)story of demography and the eternal, yet ever-flexible “population problem.”
