Abstract：
The authors extracted data on the Northeast Great Plague (1910-1911) from "Reports on the Epidemic Affairs in the Three Eastern Provinces", "Reports of the International Plague Conference in Fengtian", "Compilation of Historical Data on Epidemics in China over Three Thousand Years", and "Compilation of Historical Materials on Epidemics in Modern Chinese Newspapers", using "day" as the temporal unit and "county" as the spatial unit to establish a spatial-temporal dataset of plague transmission and mortality in Northeast China during 1910-1911. The dataset includes plague-affected areas, transmission data including the first occurrence date, termination date, interval between initial reports, epidemic duration, transmission speed, and mortality data etc. The dataset is archived in .shp and .xlsx formats, and consists of 16 data files with data size of 949 KB (Compressed into one file with 612 KB). The analysis paper based on the dataset was published at Geographical Research, Vol. 43, No. 2, 2024.
