Abstract: Social science research requirements have challenged the limits of computation for over a century. Several major milestones in the early history of computing were sparked by attempts to advance the social sciences. It was the US census of 1890 that inspired Herman Hollerith (q.v.), a social researcher, to design the first automated data processing machinery. Hollerith's punched card (q.v.) system, while not a true computer, provided the foundation for contemporary computer-based data management.
