The Population Project


  • About Us

    The Population Project is a non-profit organization striving to compile a list of every human’s full name and date of birth. Strangely enough, in a time when information has never been so plentiful, we don’t know the name of the 7+ billion people with whom we share this planet.

    Why the Population Project? Because all lives deserve to be represented. In a generation or two, most of us will be forgotten. The Population Project will keep a log of who lived when. It will be a resource for historians and genealogists alike.
