informal institutions in the development process, with a particular focus
on family organisation and the decision making power of women, both at the
micro and the macro level. Though the focus lies on the past two centuries,
paper proposals on all periods are welcome. Abstracts (max. 500 words)

*Workshop 'Common People, Common Rules. Institutions and self-governance in
historical perspective' (Pamplona, 30-31 October 2014)*

[image:
http://www.collective-action.info/sites/default/files/webmaster/_IMA_LOG_CR-meeting-Pamplona.png]

Collective ownership and resource management is currently an important
research topic among historians, anthropologists, legal experts,
economists, sociologists, and political scientists, not least as a
consequence of the challenges the world is facing regarding the management
of natural resources. During this two-day workshop, which will be held at
the Public University of Navarra in Pamplona, we will be focusing on
institutions for collective action, that are self-governing and
self-regulating in historical perspective. At the workshop much attention
will be given to the historical analysis of common land regimes, which has
witnessed a clear shift in focus from the study of the abolition of commons
towards the analysis of the internal logic of their functioning. *Click

*Third Think Tank Session ‘Population ageing: problem or promise?’
(Utrecht, 10 October 2014)*

  On Friday October 10, 2014, the Knowledge centre Institutions of the Open
Society at Utrecht University in collaboration with the *Aedes-Actiz
Knowledge Centre* <http://www.kcwz.nl/dossiers/lokale_kracht>will organize
the Third Think Tank session about ageing populations and the development
of new institutions in living, care and welfare. Main issue of the meeting
is the search for new possibilities of collective action among the elderly
today to cope with the challenges posed by population ageing and the demand
of long-term care. The program includes lectures by David Reher
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid) who will highlight the topic from a
long-term European perspective and discuss the different Northwestern and
Southern European institutional solutions to ageing. George de Kam
(University of Groningen) will talk about recent developments in the
Netherlands and the effectiveness of the new solutions in care and
living. *Click

*'Ja, ik wil!' ('Yes, I Do!') - Unique project: digitizing pre-marriage
registers of Amsterdam through crowd-sourcing*

*[image:
http://www.collective-action.info/sites/default/files/webmaster/_IMA_LOG_Ja-ik-wil.png]*

On February 3, the digitization project* ‘Ja, ik wil’(‘Yes, I do’)*
<http://www.collective-action.info/ja-ik-wil> started. With this
large-scaled project, researchers from the Department of Social and
Economic History of Utrecht University seek to digitize the Amsterdam
premarriage records (1581-1811) to make the data from these records
available for scientific research. Using the websourcing platform* ‘Vele
Handen’** (‘Many Hands’)* <http://www.velehanden.nl/>, the research team
initiated a co-operation with the *Amsterdam City Archives*
<https://stadsarchief.amsterdam.nl/english/home.en.html> to attract
volunteers to help with entering the information held in the source. Over
285 - and numbers still increasing - volunteers, among whom history
teachers, genealogists, and alumni of Utrecht University have already
registered to start entering the data. In the first phase (2014) of this
project, the team aims to digitize about one-fifth of these records, which
will already form a rich source of data for further historical research.
The intention is to digitize the whole source by the end of 2015. Visit the
project webpage [in Dutch], at *http://www.collective-action.info/Ja-ik-wil*
