State of the imperial nation

It doesn't offer the individual details so beloved of genealogists, but the free access to aggregated census data offered by a new site will appeal to researchers. Laura Smith delved with delight

' site review

Earlier this year, a partnership between the National Archives, UK Data Archive at Essex University and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) made available a previously hidden gem detailing British life in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Online Historical Populations Reports project offers free online access to 200,000 pages of census reports for England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, between 1801 and 1937, offering in-depth insights into the economy, society and medicine during a period of immense change.

The enormous range of information on offer includes the population's age breakdown, marital and employment status, numbers in the armed forces and how many families occupied each household. The way the information was recorded offers further insights into more subtle aspects of life, such as class distinctions, medical attitudes and religious and racial prejudices.
