Abstract

The West-Flemish Demographic database (WFDD) is constructed as part of the project ‘New approaches to the social dynamics of long-term fertility change’ (http://soc.kuleuven.be/ceso/fapos/nasdltfc/index) led by Prof. dr. Koen Matthijs. This work builds on the specific work package implemented by Prof. dr. Erik Buyst, who is co-promotor in the aforementioned interdisciplinary research project. This database is specially tailored to the needs of life course analysts and covers 239 West-Flemish communities (Belgium) during the period 1600-1910. In this technical report we describe the construction of the WFDD in detail. Section 1 describes the historical sources, field work activities and coverage. Section 2 defines the variables used during the linkage process. Section 3 outlines the linkage procedure. Section 4 evaluates the linkage procedure and section 5 concludes.
