]]>2026-01-09T00:00:00+01:002026-01-09T00:00:00+01:00Data constructed from archival sources provides new insights on
classic arguments in mediaeval, modern and contemporary history, as
illustrated by the innovative analyses presented in this issue.
They include a serial study of seigneurial accounts in the late
Middle Ages, a new database on the privileges of textile companies
in Europe between the 16th and 18th centuries, equally detailed
data on credit in France in the 18th century and, finally, data on
international trade during the second half of the 20th century.
They are accompanied by a reflection on Adolphe Quetelet, one of
the most prominent statisticians in the history of statistical
thought.

]]>2025-05-28T00:00:00+02:002025-05-28T00:00:00+02:00Thanks to recent methodological advances in the social sciences,
historians can now adopt an individualized and multidimensional
approach to players and their conduct over time, the aim being to
analyse the complex processes and sequences of behaviour developed
progressively by each actor through repeated trial and error.
Investigations of this kind exploit computerized databases to
transform a mass of information from multiple sources into usable
data. The articles in this issue describe this operation of crucial
importance, in both epistemological and empirical terms, for
history and the social sciences.

]]>2021-10-25T00:00:00+02:002021-11-04T00:00:00+01:00The articles in this issue illustrate the role of quantification
in historical research, with just one of the six contributions
focusing on the history of measurement per se. Their geographical
scope is broad, with four articles covering countries or regions
outside France. Exploring a rich corpus of Florentine archives, C.
Maitte explores the historiography of wages paid to highly skilled
workers in the modern era, revealing the complex hierarchy of wage
scales and highlighting the importance of including working hours
in calculations. P. Castéjon uses prosopographical resources to
study the transformation of the cursus honorum of
magistrates appointed to late Spanish imperial institutions, and
the importance attached to knowledge of overseas affairs. In the
service of both history and urban archaeology, C. Ducourthial and
H. Tronchère-Cottet take up the challenge of identifying an old
topographical landmark, making it possible to enter old maps of
Lyon into a GIS. P.-Y. Lacour examines the way in which scientific
instruments and precision clocks were evaluated at French
industrial exhibitions. Using lexicometric techniques to analyse
the writings of a French diplomat in office in Tunis, J. Hammami
reveals the underlying colonial discourse. Last, P. Le Roux
provides historians with an interpretation of ethnographic records
in southern Thailand that show evidence of a measurement system
specific to southern Asia and that predates Indian, Chinese or
western influence.

Counting civil servants: An impossible task?

]]>2021-06-07T00:00:00+02:002021-06-14T00:00:00+02:00That government administrations employ vast armies of civil
servants is a popular and enduring misconception. Yet, the absence
of any real convention on what constitutes a “civil servant” makes
any attempt at empirical measurement a highly complex endeavour.
There is a striking imbalance between the multitude of comparative
arguments proffered in the media and political spheres, and the
paucity of research on this question by social scientists and
historians. The articles included in this feature provide a number
of reference points across different settings (national, colonial,
imperial or supranational) to study civil service measurement as a
window into the history and sociology of government.

Human culture and measurement

]]>2020-11-13T00:00:00+01:002020-11-17T00:00:00+01:00Moving beyond research which aims simply to identify historical
units of measurement and make them more intelligible by converting
them to our modern system, it is time to develop a social and
cultural approach to measurement practices, building on the work of
Witold Kula. This issue features several case studies by
archaeologists and historians – of Antiquity and the Middle Ages –
who analyse material culture to conduct a dual objectifying
endeavour, examining both the intellection and representation of
weights and measures in ancient times, and the historiographic
categories in use today. The notions of “value” and “consensus”,
with all their subjective nuances, thus play a central role, not
only in establishing metric standards and norms in past societies,
but also in a reflective approach to measurement questions.

Serra describes the creation of development indicators by the
United Nations Economic Commission for Africa to support the
liberal reforms of the 1980s. Two other articles apply statistical
methods to historical objects. Using a prosopographic database of
state officers in ducal Lorraine, A. Fersing examines how the
structure of the data can be used to create homogeneous categories,
developing the idea via a multiple correspondence analysis and an
agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis. L. Herment and É.
Mermet examine the spatial dissemination of commercial fertilizer
in France in the mid-nineteenth century using GIS data and a
logistic regression model followed by a principal components
analysis.
