The Tampere Research Group for History of Population, Environments and Social Structures (HoPES) aims at creating a historical database on the population, living conditions and resources in Finland between the years 1750-1920. The research unit started in the autumn of 2017.
Data collected and analysed by methods of historical research can be utilised in multidisciplinary research in different disciplines. The database is divided into two sections: a population history database and a living conditions database. The database will be built in cooperation with international and domestic partners.
