Register for Linking with IPUMS DHS and IHGIS webinar
The IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys (IPUMS DHS) and IPUMS International Historical Geographic Information System (IHGIS) have collaborated on a new feature enabling users to easily link contextual data from the censuses in IHGIS to individual-level records in IPUMS DHS. The new linking feature uses the DHS cluster points to identify the corresponding IHGIS unit where each respondent lives and provides the IHGIS unit code as a variable on DHS records. Population and agricultural census data from IHGIS are then easily joined to the records based on the unit code. IHGIS data are typically available at the second administrative level and often for even smaller geographic units. The fine-grained geography and richness of these collections facilitate a wide variety of interdisciplinary research. This webinar will provide overviews of the IPUMS DHS and IHGIS collections, introduce the new linking features, and explore examples of research facilitated by the linkages.

IPUMS will be exhibiting at the AHCJ Annual Conference. Stop by our exhibit table to learn more about health data available from IPUMS.

IPUMS will be exhibiting at the 2026 ASHEcon Conference. Stop by our exhibit booth to learn more about health data available from IPUMS.

This year’s two-day data training workshop will provide training on using linked, historical full count census data from IPUMS. Session topics will cover history and availability of full count data, geography in historical, full count census data, IPUMS MLP linking strategy, accessing linked census data, and considerations for analyzing linked data. The workshop is free, but space is limited. Workshop applications closed on April 1, 2026.

The IPUMS Big Microdata Network and the Network for Data-Intensive Research on Aging (NDIRA), a collaboration between IPUMS and the University of Minnesota Life Course Center, are proud to sponsor the 2026 Data-Intensive Research Conference. The conference theme is Novel Data Linkages and Innovative Life Course Research. We look forward to a conference that features research presentations on a broad range of topics that address different stages of the life course that leverage large-scale population data with a linking component to examine life course processes and stages in the U.S. and global contexts. Conference Registration is open through July 3. 

IPUMS will be exhibiting at the GSA 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting. Stop by our exhibit booth (506) to talk data to us.
