Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, I worked on digitizing the results of the Lithuanian national census in 1923 and the results of the parliamentary elections during the interwar period (held four times by 1926). In addition, some statistics were also converted into digital data.
It was originally planned to digitize the results of the Klaipeda regional census in 1925, but it was canceled since it was not possible to go to Lithuania to collect data because of COVID-19.
Moreover, I used some of the data digitized in this project in my paper, book (coauthor), oral presentations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

両大戦間期リトアニアで実施された国勢調査などの統計をアクセスしやすいデジタルデータに変換することで、当時のリトアニアの社会状況などに関する分析がより容易に行えるようになった。したがって本研究は、学際的共同研究の可能性を広げ、両大戦間期リトアニア研究の促進に大きく寄与するものである。
