This dataset 'Ja, ik wil! - Amsterdam marriage banns registers 1580-1810' and its codebook are the results of a Citizen Science Project, executed by the Research Team Institutions for Collective Action (www.collective-action.info) in cooperation with over 500 volunteers. The project has resulted in a dataset of detailed socio-economic details on over 93,000 couples that registered their prebanns with the Amsterdam Reformed or municipal authorities of every fifth year, starting with 1580 and ending with 1810.

This data underlies the article: Van Weeren, R. & De Moor, T. (2021). Counting Couples: The Marriage Banns Registers of the City of Amsterdam, 1580–1810. Research Data Journal for the Humanities and Social Sciences, 6, 1-45. doi: https://doi.org/10.1163/24523666-06010002
