The U.S. Decennial Census

The duPont-Ball Library owns print volumes of the U.S. Decennial Census from 1850-2010. These volumes are located in the Government Documents Collection, on the lower level of the library.  For most Census years, we have volumes for all the states and a U.S. summary volume.

Material in the Government Documents Collection is arranged by a special call number, called the Superintendent of Documents (SuDoc) number.  Here are the titles and SuDoc numbers for the Census volumes owned by the library.  A Research Librarian will help you locate them in the stacks.
