Then, census microdata were available for only a handful of countries and trans-border access was impossible for all but a few. Now, from the website www.ipums.org <http://www.ipums.org>, hosted by the University of Minnesota Population Center, many decades of census microdata for much of the world are readily accessible free of cost to bona fide researchers anywhere—regardless of country of birth, residence or citizenship./ / / /At this lunchtime seminar Professor McCaa from the University of Minnesota Population Center describes the IPUMS project, and the great potential of the data for researchers./ Best wishes, *Dominic McDonagh | *Business Development Officer Data Science Institute*|* Imperial College London d.mcdonagh@imperial.ac.uk <mailto:d.mcdonagh@imperial.ac.uk> +44 (0)20 7594 8291 www.imperial.ac.uk/data-science <http://www.imperial.ac.uk/data-science> @ImperialDSI <https://twitter.com/imperialdsi>
