Historical Statistics of the US

One of the All UC Group’s most important achievements has been the nurturing of the Historical Statistics of the United States, Millennial Edition project. This was the quintessential interdisciplinary project, with more than 200 leading economists, historians, political scientists, sociologists, and scholars from other disciplines contributing to the endeavor to create America’s most important social science reference tool.   The initial concept for the project grew out of the interactions of the Group’s members.  During the project’s formative stage, the Group sponsored several conferences which helped define the shape and content of the final product and helped convince the scholarly and donor communities and prospective publishers that such a large undertaking was in fact possible.
