We celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of 91传媒在线's first major research infrastructures, the Demographic Data Base (DDB).
When DDB started its operations in 1973, it entered a completely new and uncharted field: using the information-rich Swedish church records to build population databases for research. It was a pioneering effort that has had great significance, both nationally and internationally. Now we want to celebrate the first 50 years of DDB with a jubilee!
This website brings together information and activities related to the anniversary.
CEDAR is organising a special seminar series to mark the 50th anniversary of the Demographic Data Base.
Alice Reid, professor at Cambridge university, is a visiting researcher at CEDAR.
