“…The same pattern can be found in the field of government statistics (Van den Ende, 1994aEnde, , 1994b improvements of punch card and digital computing technology were minor. As we noted before, only after the introduction of microelectronics in the 1960s was the digital computer adopted rapidly.…”

An assumption generally subscribed in evolutionary economics is that new technological paradigms arise from advances is science and developments in technological knowledge. Demand only influences the selection among competing paradigms, and the course the paradigm after its inception. In this paper we argue that this view needs to be adapted. We demonstrate that in the history of computing technology in the 20th century a distinction can be made between periods in which either demand or knowledge development was the dominant enabler of innovation.

“…It has been only in the last few years that historians of technology have discussed this subject. 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 But a great effort has still to be doneespecially technical development has to be researched if we are to understand the application of this technology and the interaction between its application and developments, including its social influence. 10,11 This article is intended to give a systematic overview of punched card technology in census work.…”

This article is designed to provide information regarding the development of punched card technology for use in both census and commercial applications. After describing the different types of technology and how they were used, this article provides a detailed description of census requirementsand, in particular, the German censuses of 1925, 1933, and 1939-in an effort to counter arguments that German authorities used the results of these censuses during the Holocaust period. Extensive references are provided to enable others to have access to information from that era.
