Abstract
This collection of essays pays tribute to Kees Mandemaker's great contribution to the data infrastructure of social science history, in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Several essays discuss (the future of) historical databases. Yet other provide examples of research on topics covering important life course transitions. All demonstrate the scale, scope and variation of research based on well-constructed databases.

Summary
If you all want me to settle down Slow up and stop all my running 'round. A lifelong devotee of The Kinks, Kees Mandemakers is undoubtedly familiar with their song 'I'm not like everybody else' (1967). He devoted his career to the cause of supporting social history in its broadest sense with state-of-the art databases. The focus of Kees' professional attention was the reconstruction of Dutch life courses and families in order to create an infrastructure for social science history. Since 1989, Kees devoted all his time and energy to create, disseminate, enrich and expand the HSN, which by 2020 had resulted in no less than 412 scientific publications and 802 lectures and presentations (Annual Report 2019).
