Länder mit umfangreichen historischen Datenbanken im Internet

	Niederlande: Central Statistics Bureau The site of the Dutch Bureau of Statistics offers StatLine, an extensive statistical database on the Netherlands. StatLine contains a lot of statistical data: about 100.000.000 numbers organized into about 300 so-called 'publications', which are sets of data that belong logically together (e.g. economical data or regional data). The Internet access to StatLine offers you two methods to find information: Via the StatLine Search Engine or via the Statistical themes In principle Statline offers statistics ranging from 1899 till the present. However, not all series go back that much in time. Unfurtunately the site offers not complete English texts. Although the search-engine can be English, the series are presented in Dutch
	National Accounts of the Netherlands
	Norwegen This is a very useful site. There is a lot of information available, recent AND historical. It is possible to start you're search via the search-engine but it is probably easier to discover the whole range of data via the statistics by subject. An advantage for the historian is that this site also has a special section on Historical Statistics. The Norwegians take there (internet)work very seriously: although there is now already a huge amount of data for FREE online available, but if we look at the calendar what more is to come, we can only conclude that this site is already good, but will become better.
	USA This is an overwhelming site! The quantity and quality of the offered information is incredible. Name it, and they've got it. Statistics about the environment, population, economy, etc. The data is both recent as historical. Without a problem you can look for all data after WWII, but you will probably also have succes with the period before WWII. Fedstats offers several ways to find the data you want: an A-Z index; a search-engine; or so-called fast facts. This site makes internet worthwhile!
	Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) - USA Maintained by the Department of Commerce. The site is easy to handle and offers both historical as recent key economic indicators. The available data and articles (!) is diffided by subject: national, international, regional. The articles and data can be download in several format types. There's no search-engine available, so you'll have to check the, well-descriped, tables. Furthermore, recently the Survey of Current Business, BEA's monthly journal has come online. It is possible to access the complete versions! Most articles in these journals can also be downloaded seperately from the national, international, and regional program listings.
	Bureau of Labor Statistics (BTS) This site offers a huge amount of labor data. Employment, wages, hours, prices, etc. can be retrieved via several options. It's possible to start searching in most requested series, but selective access enables the user to obtain the data he specifically requests. The site moreover offers the use of a FTP server for users requiring large volumes of Timeseries data. Remember to choose 'all years' if you start searching for data. If you don't do this, it might seem that there's only recent data available, while there is also a substantial amount of historical data. E.g. about the international price indexes, which on her turn contains special historical tables. The Department of Labor makes with this site a huge amount of data available, which is very useable for the historian.
