Exchange marriages as a family partnership strategy in the Barcelona area, 16th–19th centuries
Exchange marriages refer to arrangements in which two families simultaneously reciprocate spouses, either through the marriage of two pairs of siblings or through unions linking two widowed parents alongside the marriage of their respective children, thereby establishing dense and interlocking networks of affinal kinship between the families. Rather than stemming primarily from geographic isolation or a shortage of eligible partners, exchange mar…
Unveiling alternative quantitative narratives of gender and employment in Southern Europe from 19th- and 20th-Century photographs
Photographs represent a rich yet underutilized source of demographic and economic information, whose integration can move analyses beyond an illustrative role and foster methodological innovation in historical demography. In this research note, we demonstrate how computer vision techniques can be applied to extract complementary data from non-textual sources, alongside conventional demographic and socioeconomic records such as population register…
Family incomes in the industrial periphery. The urban centres of rural Mallorca and the Menorcan cities, ca. 1920-30
This article estimates the income of working families in the rural manufacturing and agricultural districts of Mallorca and Menorca. It focuses on day labourer households consisting of a conjugal unit and dependent children (classified as type 3b in Laslett’s classification), a life stage marked by vulnerability. With this focus, we examine the relative contribution of the male head’s income in working-class households and explore whether contemp…
Advancing Precision in Childhood Causes of Death. Wording and Source Discrepancies in Palma (Spain), 1836–1930
Assessing the precision of causes of death is essential for gaining a clearer understanding of past disease incidence and its evolution. This study introduces a novel lexicographical approach to examining childhood mortality in the port city of Palma between 1836 and 1930, drawing on three sources that recorded individual causes of death: burial registers, parish books, and the civil register. In this sense, we estimate the number of words used i…
Strategy or Necessity? The Determinants of Marriage Between Relatives in the Barcelona Area, Sixteenth–Nineteenth Centuries
Consanguineous marriages illustrate the complex interplay between environmental and social factors in family formation. However, there remains a significant lack of quantitative studies exploring this phenomenon in preindustrial contexts. In this sense, this study examines the intensity and the structural and strategic determinants of consanguineous marriages in the Barcelona area between the 16th and 19th centuries, utilizing the unique Barcelon…

Towards more horizontality in families? Sibling associations in socio-economic status in the Barcelona area in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries
This paper explores the shift in family influence on socio-economic outcomes, focusing on sibling relationships, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries in the Barcelona area. Our findings reveal a diminishing role of vertical ties (parents-children) and an increasing significance of horizontal ties (between siblings). Specifically, brothers who were first in the sibling group to marry exerted more influence on socio-economic persistence o…
Family Budgets and Living Standards in 1924 Catalonia (Spain)
This article reconstructs household budgets during the first phase of the family life cycle in 24 municipalities representing different economic development models and in twelve industrial colonies in the provinces of Barcelona and Girona in 1924. Based on wage declarations recorded in the municipal registers of that year and the reconstruction of a “respectability” basket of goods, the article aims to determine the purchasing power of various so…
What was Killing Babies in Palma, Spain? Analysing Infant Mortality Patterns Using Individual-Level Cause of Death Data, 1836–1930
This paper explores infant mortality patterns to determine the epidemiological profile of the port city of Palma, Spain between 1836 and 1930 using individual-level cause of death and testing the newly constructed ICD10h coding system. Throughout the 19th century, infant mortality was well below 150 per 1,000 live births, possibly related to the practice of extended breastfeeding and frequent vaccination campaigns. However, between 1840 and 1860,…
Numeracy and consistency in age declarations
A rich tradition exists on measuring human capital in historical societies through basic mathematical skills using the method of age heaping. In this article, we novelty propose to calculate it also through the analysis of the consistency in individual consecutive age declaration statements in five towns of Baix Llobregat’s county (Barcelona, Spain) during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The region underwent a proto-industrializatio…

Which did most to encourage secularisation
This article aims to analyse how the intertwining of politics and religion, economic transformation due to industrialisation, and family influence each contributed to the abandonment of the traditional, religious marriage calendar during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the Barcelona Area or the Oficialitat de Barcelona , the most populated deanery among the four that comprised the Diocese of Barcelona. We make use of the Barcelona Hist…
Dones i participació laboral a l'Ajuntament de Barcelona, 1925-1950
La creixent complexitat de les activitats estatals va afavorir l'expansió dels seus departaments administratius i l'ampliació de serveis relacionats amb l'ensenyament i la cura de les persones, tot generant noves oportunitats laborals per a les dones urbanes en un context de menor nupcialitat i l'emergència de la Nova Dona. L'objectiu d'aquest article és analitzar el procés d'incorporació massiva de les dones a l'Ajuntament de Barcelona al llarg …
The Barcelona Historical Marriage Database and the Baix Llobregat Demographic Database. From Algorithms for Handwriting Recognition to Individual-Level Demographic and Socioeconomic Data
The Barcelona Historical Marriage Database (BHMD) gathers records of the more than 600,000 marriages celebrated in the Diocese of Barcelona and their taxation registered in Barcelona Cathedral's so-called Marriage Licenses Books for the long period 1451–1905 and the BALL Demographic Database brings together the individual information recorded in the population registers, censuses and fiscal censuses of the main municipalities of the county of Bai…
Bottom-up Nation-building
It is customary to consider population censuses (and statistics in general) as exclusive to the modern State, appearing in the second half of the eighteenth century but being developed and spreading in the West during the nineteenth century. Indeed, censuses help to strengthen and legitimize such states. However, in Spain, just as in Europe and the United States, the first population censuses considered modern were the result of, on the one hand,…
Inequality in mortality in pre-industrial southern Europe during an epidemic episode
Mercado de trabajo, género y especialización oleícola
Recently, an intense historiographical debate has developed concerning female participation in rural labour markets and its impact on the gender wage gap before 1800. The underlying hypothesis is that increased participation of women in the labour market should lead to a reduction in the wage gap and a parallel improvement in their life conditions. However, research results to date are inconclusive. This article aims to address some of these issu…

Chronicle of an early demise, surname extinction in the fifteenth and the seventeenth centuries
It has been amply demonstrated that individuals' reproductive capability is the key explanatory phenomenon for understanding onomastic disappearance during the early modern period. This article analyzes the evolution and consequences of surname extinction in a specific population: Catalonia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this article two aspects are examined. First, the observed disappearance of surnames is estimated through histo…

Medical discourse and municipal policy on prostitution
During the 19th century, prostitution aroused strong emotions in most European cities. Palma de Mallorca was no exception and, in common with many Spanish cities at that time, regulated this activity. The objectives of this paper are to analyze the Mallorcan medical discourse on syphilis, evaluate the concept of venereal disease as social stigma and, finally, examine municipal policy on prostitution
La cuantificación demográfica y epidemiológica en el higienismo balear, 1850-1930
At the end of the 19th century, social medicine promoted the use of quantification as a means to evaluate the health status of populations. In Majorca, hygienists such as the physicians Enric Fajarnés, Bernat Riera, Antoni Mayol and Emili Darder and the civil engineer Eusebi Estada sought a better understanding of health status by considering the population growth, the demographic and epidemiological profile and the influence of weather on mortal…
A Tale of Two Transcriptions. Machine-Assisted Transcription of Historical Sources
This article explains how two projects implement semi-automated transcription routines: for census sheets in Norway and marriage protocols from Barcelona. The Spanish system was created to transcribe the marriage license books from 1451 to 1905 for the Barcelona area; one of the world’s longest series of preserved vital records. Thus, in the Project “Five Centuries of Marriages” (5CofM) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona’s Center for Demog…
