Historical Social Network Analysis
INTRODUCTION In the past two decades, social network analysis (SNA) has become a major analytical paradigm in sociology and now occupies a strategic place in disciplinary debates on a wide variety of issues. Historians, however, have been slow to adopt the approach for at least three reasons. First, the conceptual orientation of sociologists practicing historical social network analysis (HSNA) remains unfamiliar to the majority of professional hi…
The 1881 census in the Russian Baltic provinces
The 1881 census of the Russian Baltic provinces of Livland, Estland, and Kurland was the first modern-type systematic population enumeration in the Baltic area. It had been preceded by enumerations of other kinds—land cadastres that included aggregate population counts (during Swedish control of the area) in the 17th century, and fiscal revisions (during Russian control of the area) that did list residents by name but did not follow any principle…
Households and kinship networks
In Household and Family in Past Time (1972) Peter Laslett explicitly differentiated the study of kin relations within the domestic group from the study of those beyond it. Yet in subsequent decades the latter project – the conceptualization of the domestic group within the larger kin group – has not proceeded very far, even though it can easily be pictured as the ‘next step’ in micro-structural research. In part this is due to the inherent diffic…
Another Look at Coale’s Indices of Fertility, I f and I g
Ansley Coale's indices of fertility are well-established measures in historical demography. Developed in the 1960s, they formed the basic analytical device for the European Fertility Project (EFP), which chartered the decline of fertility inEurope (Coale and Watkins 1986), and which has since spawned efforts to measure fertility control in more refined and rigorous ways (David et al. 1988; David and Mroz 1989a, 1989b; David and Sanderson 1988, 19…
Patrilines, surnames, and family identity
The Imperial decrees emancipating the serfs of the Russian Baltic provinces (1816–1820) included the requirement that serfs, who would now become free peasants and obtain legal standing, have both a first name and a surname, the latter of their own choosing. The article examines the process through which Baltic peasants obtained surnames and analyzes the choices they made. In the Pinkenhof estate, in the province of Livland, emancipated serfs mos…
Borders, ethnicity, and demographic patterns in the Russian Baltic provinces in the late nineteenth century
In his pioneering and now classic 1953 study, Nationalism and social communication , Karl Deutsch laid out a social science agenda for the study of national consciousness in contemporary and historic populations. Central to this agenda was communication, and central to communication was language: ‘If we knew how to compare and measure the ability of groups and cultures to transmit information, we might gain a better understanding of their behavio…
Theory, Method, and Social Reproduction in Social Science History
Let me begin with a simple theme, repentance, and a simple message: repent from complacency in the practice and defense of social science history (SSH). I say this because I do not see social science historians meeting three major challenges that must be overcome if the larger, collective enterprise is to survive with the same vitality it had a decade ago. Those challenges are, first, to bring social theory forcefully back into historical researc…
New methods for social history
During the two decades prior to publication of this book, sociologists had developed a range of new research methods that could be of much use to social historians. This 1999 collection of essays introduces some of the most interesting of these methods: event structure analysis, words-to-numbers, network analysis, qualitative comparative analysis, fuzzy logic, and recursive regression. All essays are written by outstanding experts, address non-in…
Intergenerational transfers of headships over the life course in an Eastern European peasant community, 1782–1850
Research on intergenerational transfers of valued goods has focused mostly on historical western Europe and its propertied peasantry. This article analyzes the population of an estate (Pinkenhof) in the Russian Baltic province of Livland—one of the lands of the so-called “second serfdom”—during the nineteenth century, before and after the emancipation of serfs. Here peasants did not own land; the most valued good that peasant families had to bequ…

Social network analysis of historical communities
The essay suggests to historians the usefulness of using a social network analytic approach to studying communities and community-like social structures such as kinship groups and work groups. Historians have long employed social network as a metaphor, but few have embraced the substance, theory, or methods of the social network paradigm. In the 1970s and 1980s, historians and other social scientists on both sides of the Atlantic revisited questi…

Social Networks, Kinship, and Community in Eastern Europe
Social Networks, Kinship, and Community in Eastern Europe How people in the past used and valued kinship in their daily lives is one of the most important and most elusive matters in contemporary social history. The largest issue is the character of community life and how that character changed in the temporally imprecise, yet unmistakable, transition from the traditional to the modern world. Intimately related to this central question are others…

"Boom and Bust" in the Colonial Chesapeake Economy
Boom and Bust in the Colonial Chesapeake Economy A major theme in the recent scholarship of the colonial Chesapeake is the notion of boom and bust-the idea that throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the tobacco economy experienced continuing cycles of prosperity and depression. Tobacco was central to Chesapeake society, and few would question the importance of knowing what mechanisms governed its economy. Yet beyond asserting that t…
