Census Holdings

This is a guide to census films, books, indexes, and CDs at the Newberry. The Newberry collects census material primarily from the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, and, to a lesser extent, other foreign countries. The holdings include federal, state, territorial, colonial, and special non-population censuses.

Online sources for the census include Ancestry.com and HeritageQuest Online. Both are available onsite at the library. For a list of digitized state censuses, see Research Guide’s “Genealogy Research Guides - State Census Records”.

This research guide is available as a PDF file.
