For a general overview of databases see the website of the International Committee for Historical Demography (ICHD). The ICHD associates scientists of different nationalities, whose aim is to encourage the study of the history of population and of human society in general, and to further scientific exchange between researchers.

ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.

The goal of the Association for Young Historical Demographers is to bring together junior scholars who investigate historical demographic processes. Young does therefore not refer to age, but more to a stage in one’s academic career. We especially welcome BA-students, MA-students, PhD-students, post-docs and other junior researchers to join this group. By offering a platform on which young historical demographers get the opportunity to exchange questions, ideas and their experience, we hope to strengthen the field of historical demography. Moreover, we hope this association will guarantee us having our own voice in the international community of Historical Demography.

The Mosaic project identifies, gathers, harmonizes, and distributes surviving historical census microdata for Europe and beyond. It aims at building a comprehensive and detailed resource for the historic study of populations by historians, demographers, economists, and other researchers.
