This repository contains the source code to construct the CenSoc data products.

The CenSoc Project creates and makes publicly available Linked Mortality Data Sets, that is, public, individual-level data sets linking the 1940 U.S. Census with the (a) Social Security Death Master File, an (b) the NARA Numident file.

In the codebase/ directory, each subfolder contains code to:

• 01_create_bunmd — construct the BUNMD
• 02_create_censoc— create both the CenSoc-DMF and CenSoc-Numident files
• 03_create_demo_files— create the CenSoc-DMF and CenSoc-Numident demo files
• 04_create_enlistment_records — create a cleaned and harmonized version of the military enlistment records and link to the 1940 Census / mortality records [in progress]
• 05_create_censoc_codebooks — create the codebooks for all CenSoc datasets
• 06_website_vignettes— all CenSoc website vignettes (.Rmd files and
• 07_replication_assess_match_quality — replication code for the assess match quality
• 08_track_censoc_users — code to keep track of the number of new and total CenSoc users
