Labour Relations in Venice, 1500-1800

Labour relations data for Venice from the Global Collaboratory on the History of Labour Relations 1500-2000 Dataset. An abridged version created in October 2020 includes only records containing labour relations, with data cleaning, separation of male and female individuals, and removal of duplicate records. The aggregated number of people mentioned in these updated datasets should equal the total population.
