London's Ghost Acres British Imports 1856-1906 Database

<p>Starting in 2014, I have been working with students and colleagues to create a database of trade statistics for the nineteenth century with a focus on the British World. I am posting the core of the database, which has been error checked and included all British imports for every fifth year from 1856 to 1906. The sources are a series of documents in the Nineteenth Century and Twentieth Century House of Commons Sessional Papers, with titles that begin with &lsquo;Annual Statement of the Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom&rsquo; until 1870 and the &lsquo;Annual Statement of Trade of United Kingdom&rsquo; through to the twentieth century. They were all accessed through the&nbsp;<a href="https://parlipapers.proquest.com/parlipapers/search/basic/hcppbasicsearch">ProQuest UK Parliamentary Papers</a>. Everything in this database has been error checked, but if you ever want to double-check you can simply sum the quantities or values from individuals sources excluding &ldquo;World&rdquo; and compare it with the total from the World to see if they match.</p>
