The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure
Trumpet Player (1665).
Last week we published our 60th blog post, celebrating 60 years of research at Campop. Over the last year we have covered a wide variety of topics, and we have hopefully introduced you to some things you didn’t know about demography, social structure, family, work, and the economy, from the medieval period right up to today.
Thank you
We would like to end the series by extending a big thank you to all our readers. We have loved sharing our posts with you every week for the past year, and we hope that you have enjoyed this journey through the highlights of Campop research, past and present.
Also, a sincere thank you to all our wonderful authors. This blog would not have existed without your hard work, commitment, and willingness to share your research in such an open and engaging way. Thank you!

This series was fantastic, especially the long-term figures.
Why not pursue it by comparing the UK and non-European countries like India, China, Nigeria, Brazil, etc. ?
Hi! Just wanted to say I’ve really enjoyed this blog series; it just introduced me to a whole subfield of history I’d otherwise not have engaged with at all, but which is so relevant for understanding the world. I’ve been reading with an RSS reader app so I’m probably not in your reader statistics – I’ve read at least half of them, I think, and am gradually reading more. Thanks for the work!
Thank you, really glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed the posts!
