>SN4435: Orange Order Lodge Membership, Northern Ireland, 1893-2000
>
>The aim of the project was to copy all surviving Grand Orange Lodge of
>Ireland printed county reports, for the period 1893 to 2000, held at the
>Grand Lodge of Ireland, Belfast.
>The data records membership of Orange lodges in Antrim, Derry and Down. A
>future aim of the project is to fill as many of the holes in the dataset as
>possible through county-level research and further Orange contacts, and to
>regress this data against census, survey, event-history, police and
>electoral data. Ultimately the intention is to make an assessment as to why
>Orange membership and power rises or declines across time and place in
>Ulster, Scotland and Canada in the twentieth century.
>This collection contains data from all surviving Grand Orange Lodge of
>Ireland printed county reports on the membership of individual Orange lodges
>in Antrim, Derry, Down and Tyrone for the period 1893 to 2000. There are no
>data for Londonderry City.
>There is also information on Orange lodge membership at the district level.
>In most cases, district membership has been computed based on individual
>lodge membership. However there are cases where district lodge totals were
>available while individual lodge membership was not (e.g. Tyrone,
>1969-1986), in which case district lodge totals have been entered directly.
