- Schedules of Populations 1790-1920 can be found at the Federal Population Censuses Catalogs of NARA Microfilm. This publication provides a general introduction to the content of the schedules, arrangement, and use (including the use of the SOUNDEX index), use of the microfilm for genealogical research, and roll numbers for the SOUNDEX name index and to the microfilm of the schedules. To obtain copies of the microfilm, contact Product Development and Distribution (NWCP), National Archives, Washington, DC 20408. The telephone number is 1-800-234-8861.
- All primary census records since 1790 are on NARA microfilm, with two major exceptions:
- The 1890 census, most of which was lost in a 1921 fire at the old Commerce Department building in Washington; and
- Certain records from the 1790-1810 period lost when British troops burned the city in 1814.
- Computer data from 1960-1990 was obtained by optical scanning microfilm.
- Individual census information is restricted from release under USC Title 13 for 72 years; therefore the 1920 Census information has been available only since 1992 and individual names from 1930 to date are not available.
- 1790-1920 Census schedules should be available at numerous libraries with genealogical microfilm collections (public and those run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), regional archives facilities of NARA, in addition to the main National Archives Building in Washington, DC.
- Fort Wayne Indiana Public Library has perhaps the 3rd largest collection of census materials, family newsletters, etc. in the country.
