The successful completion of this research is due in part to the recent contribution of population micro-databases (primarily censuses and civil registers), which were combined, as well as the digitization of numerous historical archives. The chapters — from a variety of disciplines including demography, history, geography, literary studies, and sociology — trace itineraries that illustrate mobility at various temporal, spatial and social scales.
