Munsee Economic and Social Connections, 1712-1732

This dataset is a cleaned version of the transcribed account book of an anonymous Dutch trader in Ulster, NY, published and edited by Kees-Jan Waterman and J. Michael Smith. This dataset documents the social connections between 156 Munsee people between 1712 and 1732, and has been prepared for network analysis by regularizing the spelling of names and using information from the published version of the account book to match individuals who appear under differently spelled names where possible. Source/Target pairs for network analysis were created for individuals with documented interactions with one another, such as people who bought gifts for another person, people who vouched for the credit of another person, or people who traveled together. The network is assumed to be undirected. Date information for edge creation is not included in the dataset but is available in the published version of the account book.

This dataset is a part of the Magazine of American Datasets (MEAD). To view more of the collection, visit https://repository.upenn.edu/exhibits/orgunit/mead.

本数据集为经数据清洗后的匿名荷兰商人于纽约州阿尔斯特所记记账簿转录稿，由Kees-Jan Waterman与J. Michael Smith整理编辑并公开发布。该数据集记录了1712年至1732年间156名芒西（Munsee）族群人群的社会关联；为适配网络分析需求，研究人员对姓名拼写进行了规范化处理，并借助该记账簿公开版的信息，尽可能将以不同拼写形式出现的同一个体进行匹配。用于网络分析的源-目标节点对，基于存在明确交互记录的个体生成，例如为他人购置礼品、为他人提供信用担保或结伴出行的人群。该网络被设定为无向网络，数据集未包含边的创建日期信息，相关日期可在该记账簿的公开版中查阅。
