History The Association for History and Computing This group has a Web page that includes some datasets. They are mostly about Dutch history, but include some fun (and interpretable) sets such as the number of ships and value of imports into Hamburg from 1733-1798 and the number of bankruptcies in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Dordrecht from 1778-1810. Mississippi State Historical Text Archive Primarily a collection of texts, this server does contain one very interesting on-line database entitled the Lower Manhattan Project. These data are described in "The Lower Manhattan Project: A new approach to Computer-Aided Learning in History Classrooms" by W. Crozier and C. Gaffield in Historical Methods, Spring 1990, pages 72-77. The data is 1890 U.S. Census data for a ward in the lower east side of Manhattan. The article lists auxillary materials used to contextualize the data (e.g. books and bibliographies). Very nice teaching package.
