In addition to the master website, there is the activity of the UC Berkeley CenSoc Working Group, which promotes research on Censoc and the Full Count Census / IPUMS data. The group maintains a
bCoursessite with vignettes and other HOWTO documentation. The CenSoc working group meets weekly to discuss a paper related to mortality, population health, or record linkage. Contact Casey Breen for further information.
