1871 Antwerp Voter List

Description

The dataset contains individual-level information on all 5850 eligible voters (male, older than 25, paying a minimum of tax) in the city of Antwerp in 1871. It lists every voter's name, address, birthplace, date of birth, and the amounts of land tax, sales tax, liquor tax, patent tax, or personal tax paid in the preceding year.
It was transcribed entirely from the source "Stad Antwerpen Lijst der Kiezers voor de samenstelling der Kamers, Provincie en Gemeente, 1871 / Ville d'Anvers Liste des Electeurs pour la formation des Chambres, de la Province et de la Commune, 1871." Retrievable at the Antwerp Felix Archive: https://felixarchief.antwerpen.be/archievenoverzicht/260964.
This dataset offers researchers a unique opportunity to study socio-economic inequality between Antwerp's elites or across geographical space. Alternatively, it can provide additional information about Antwerp residents encountered in other sources.
