Description

To enable regional statistical analyses, the Swedish Social Science Data Service (SSD) carried out a radical reorganization of the source material from the Popular Movement Archive 1881–1950 (https://doi.org/10.5878/002531) in the early 1990s. The original hierarchically structured county files were remade into a series of rectangular files in accordance with a division of the country which mainly coincides with the pre-1952 municipal division of towns and country municipalities. To achieve comparability with other data materials, the division used by Sten Berglund in Swedish electoral data 1911-1944 (https://doi.org/10.5878/000873) was chosen.

The Popular Movement Archive includes information on four denominations, six temperance movements, 59 trade unions and one political party, a total of 70 popular movements. For each of these, a special rectangular file has been created, covering the entire country, and comprising 2,576 units, the same number as in Swedish electoral data 1911-1944.

Data collection

Mode of collection: Aggregation
Description of the mode of collection: The source material from the Popular Movement Archive 1881–1950 has been organized in accordance with a division of the country which mainly coincides with the municipal division before 1952 with towns and rural municipalities. This aggregation means that the number of members no longer applies to an individual association, but to a group of associations that have in common that they belong to one and the same popular movement and exist within one and the same geographical area, i.e., one of the 2,576 units in the material. In addition, estimates of the number of members have been made for the years where information is missing.
