The events log is a table. It dates back to October 2004. If we select the events with class='affil' we will get roughly the data Charles wants. It has two action values: "add" and "remove" and the details of the event include the name and id of the institution and it should have the user details too. At least it should be possible to extract those. But of course, Christian is right that the coverage is hardly complete. -ivan On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 10:07 PM, Thomas Krichel <krichel@openlib.org> wrote:

Thomas, do you remember what kind of logs are kept in ACIS (RAS) for things like this?
We have the events log which I think goes back a very long while. We can try to ship it to charles. He will have a though time with it. But since it's a doctoral thesis, it may just help him.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Charles He <che@email.arizona.edu> Date: Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 9:58 PM Subject: Inquiry into historical author listing by institution from Repec To: kurmanka@yandex.ru
Hello Mr. Kurmanov, I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Arizona. I am interested in historical faculty rosters of economic departments from Repec. This will allow me to calculate faculty turnover and its influence on some potentially interesting variables. Is there any way of accessing historical data of which authors were registered in an institution? For example, could I see the composition of faculty in Yale in 1999 or 2003? Do you have access to this information or know where i can attain it?
