Verdandi, the Workers´ Temperance Society 1881-1950

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/10.5878/002531Opens in a new tab) 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/10.5878/000873Opens in a new tab) 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.

Description of the mode of collection:
Källmaterialet från Folkrörelsearkivet 1881–1950 har organiserats i enlighet med en indelning av landet som huvudsakligen sammanfaller med kommunindelningen före 1952 med städer och landskommuner. Denna aggregering gör att medlemsantalet inte längre gäller en enskild förening utan en grupp av föreningar som har det gemensamt att de tillhör en och samma folkrörelse och existerar inom ett och samma geografiska område, dvs någon av de 2 576 enheterna i materialet. Därutöver har skattningar av antalet medlemmar gjorts för de år där uppgift saknas.
