David Duke Campaigns: County-level Louisiana Data (ICPSR 1130)
Released/updated on: 1998-01-28
Geographic coverage: United States, Louisiana
This collection makes available county-level census and election data for the study of ex-Klansman David Duke's three statewide contests in Louisiana: a 1990 race for United States Senate, a 1991 open primary contest for governor, and the 1991 gubernatorial runoff. These data were the subject of an exchange between D. Stephen Voss and Micheal Giles and Melanie Buckner in the JOURNAL OF POLITICS 58:4. The files available through the ICPSR include additional analysis and documentation not available in the published work, for purposes of verification or replication. The data were collected from government agencies and repackaged in part under funding from Harvard University's Mellon Dissertation Research Fellowship.

Geographic coverage: North Carolina, District of Columbia, Indiana, United States, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Alabama, Florida, New York (state), Arkansas, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Mississippi, Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Ohio, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland
Time period: 1936-01-01--1938-01-01
This project entailed recording and coding information from slave narratives gathered as part of the Federal Writers' Project. Between 1936 and 1938, federal authorities organized teams of interviewers in seventeen states who gathered the recollections of over two thousand former slaves. The typescript of these interviews, running to more than ten thousand pages, was deposited in the Library of Congress and has been available on microfiche for many years. Information on the actions, attitudes, beliefs and experiences of slaves was coded from 2,358 slave narratives.
