Just a few days left to submit your abstracts to this session on 'critical demography and qualitative research' @bspsUK!

[African Population History Network @aphinetwork]

We will look out for the workshop @msaleh82!

[Mohamed Saleh @msaleh1982]

Finally, I plan to organize a zoom workshop with @ipumsi for researchers who are interested in using the data, where I will introduce the data and hopefully stimulate research ideas based on this data source.

[Mohamed Saleh @msaleh1982]

The data contain a wide breadth of information even in comparison to the 1850 US census. The variables are described in https://t.co/mAASovb76U. Most variables have been released in the initial phase and more will be released in the future as we harmonize more variables.

[@Steven Ruggles @HistDem]

This is super cool: The first pre-20th century national census microdata from anywhere outside Europe or America. Come and get it!

[African Population History Network @aphinetwork]

It is very exciting to see these early Egyptian population censuses being digitised and made available for research!

[IPUMS International @ipumsi]

ANNOUNCING new historical data release--two Egypt census samples from the 19th century now available to users! Thanks to data produced by @msaleh1982.
