1961 Census Microdata Teaching Dataset for Great Britain: 1% Sample: Open Access

  The <i>1961 Census Microdata Teaching Dataset for Great Britain: 1% Sample: Open Access</i> dataset was created from existing digital records from the 1961 Census. It can be used as a 'taster' file for 1961 Census data and is freely available for anyone to download under an Open Government Licence.<br> <br> The file was created under a project known as Enhancing adn Enriching Historic Census Microdata Samples (EEHCM), which was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council with input from the Office for National Statistics and National Records of Scotland. The project ran from 2012-2014 and was led from the UK Data Archive, University of Essex, in collaboration with the Cathie Marsh Institute for Social Research (CMIST) at the University of Manchester and the Census Offices. In addition to the 1961 data, the team worked on files from the 1971 Census and 1981 Census. <br> <br> The original 1961 records preceded current data archival standards and were created before microdata sets for secondary use were anticipated. A process of data recovery and quality checking was necessary to maximise their utility for current researchers, though some imperfections remain (see the User Guide for details). Three other 1961 Census datasets have been created: <ul><li>SN 8272 - <i>1961 Census Microdata Individual File for Great Britain: 5% Sample</i>, which contains information on individuals in larger local authorities;</li><li>SN 8273 - <i>1961 Census Microdata Household File for Great Britain: 0.95% Sample</i>, which links household members together to allow individuals to be understood within their household context. SNs 8272 and 8273 are both available to registered UK Data Service users based in the United Kingdom (see Access section for non-UK access restrictions); and </li><li>SN 8275 - <i>1961 Census Microdata for Great Britain: 9% Sample: Secure Access</i>, which comprises a larger population sample and so contains sufficient information to constitute personal data, meaning that it is only available to Accredited Researchers, under restrictive Secure Access conditions.</li></ul>

&nbsp; <i>英国1961年人口普查微观数据教学数据集：1%样本：开放获取</i>基于1961年人口普查的现有数字记录创建。它可作为1961年人口普查数据的“体验文件”，任何人都能根据开放政府许可免费下载。<br> <br> 该文件由“增强和丰富历史人口普查微观数据样本”（EEHCM）项目生成，该项目获经济与社会研究理事会资助，并得到英国国家统计局及苏格兰国家档案馆的支持。项目于2012-2014年开展，由埃塞克斯大学英国数据档案馆牵头，联合曼彻斯特大学凯茜·马什社会研究所（CMIST）与人口普查办公室共同完成。除1961年数据外，团队还处理了1971年和1981年人口普查的文件。<br> <br> 1961年原始记录早于现行数据归档标准，且创建时未考虑二次使用的微观数据集需求。为最大化其对当代研究者的效用，需经过数据恢复与质量检查流程，不过仍存在部分不完善之处（详见用户指南）。以下为同期创建的另外三类1961年人口普查数据集：<ul><li>SN 8272 - <i>英国1961年人口普查微观数据个人文件：5%样本</i>，含较大地方当局辖区内个人信息；</li><li>SN 8273 - <i>英国1961年人口普查微观数据家庭文件：0.95%样本</i>，通过关联家庭成员实现个人家庭背景分析。SN 8272与SN 8273仅向英国境内注册的英国数据服务用户开放（非英国用户访问限制见访问章节）；</li><li>SN 8275 - <i>英国1961年人口普查微观数据：9%样本：安全访问</i>，因样本规模较大且含足量个人数据，仅向认证研究者开放，并需遵守严格的安全访问条件。</li></ul>
