Select and extract data 

Below you are able to create a user and login to the extraction tool used to download data from SwedPop. The first version of the extraction tool is a beta version with functionality to download data in the IDS format from three members in the consortium. This version contains harmonized unrestricted data from parish register in different areas in Sweden and the 1880 census.  

Data that according to the GDPR is defined as personal data or data that is subject to other restrictions cannot be downloaded from the extraction tool. Access to data can be given after a vetting procedure by the SwedPop Data Access Committee and in relevant cases also by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority. In order to gain access to restricted data, you have to specify the purpose of the research and define what data is needed. Please contact us for further information.
