The LOKSTAT data applied at the local level

Based on the agricultural census of 1895 and the industrial census of 1896, Pieter Neirinckx wrote two articles about the economic development of Genk. These publications are just one example of what local historians can achieve with the rich range of data that the Quetelet Center has made available online.
