News about the Housmans World Peace Database

Status of the current database

The current version of the database on this website is derived from the edition of the World Peace Database published in October 2011, using information available up to September 2011.

The source information used for this edition of the database is the same as that used for the printed Peace Directory in the 2012 Housmans Peace Diary, which was published at the end of September 2011; however, that printed directory only includes 1635 listings, whilst this online version covers the full live database - which currently has 3284 entries. Also, many of the entries in the online version contain more information about the organisation concerned than does the equivalent entry in the printed directory. (Nevertheless there are also a few instances of some information about an organisation appearing in the printed directory which doesn't appear in the online version.)

In any correspondence about the information currently on the site, this should be cited as the October 2011 edition of the web database.

It’s anticipated that the next phase of updating of the database will lead to a new edition being available on this site around the beginning 2012.
