Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Record Service, 1964.
National Archives microfilm publications. Microcopy no. M 279; v. National Archives record group 75.
27 reel(s)
Congress mandated a detailed census of manufactures to better legislate for the economic development of the county. In 1820, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams ordered marshals throughout the nation to enumerate all "non-household" manufactures within their districts. This collection contains the census statistics for each state arranged by county. At the beginning of each state section appears an index of manufacturers as well as an index to the types of industry for that state. The guide is invaluable in describing the specific contents of the collection and the processes by which the material was gathered. Record 411 in this guide describes Ellis Library's full collection of census data, United States Decennial Census Publications, 1790-1970.
An uncataloged guide, Records of the 1820 Census of Manufactures, is located in the Special Collections Office. The guide contains a description of the 1820 Census of Manufactures, background of this census, a list of manufacturing schedules contained in the 1810 census records, a revised list of industries, classes of goods and products, and a list of contents for each reel of this collection. The introductory pamphlet is reprinted at the beginning of the first reel.

U.S. Decennial Census Publications
This collection of census material dates from 1790 (when the first decennial census of population was conducted) to 1970. It forms an inventory of the growth and development of the United States in all its measurable dimensions. Since 1790 the decennial census has been extended to produce statistical data in a variety of fields. Examples of areas covered in this collection are population, manufactures, agriculture, transportation, and housing. The census of manufactures was first taken in 1810 and provides detailed data on manufacturing activities for small geographic areas, individual industries, products shipped, and materials consumed. This census was taken decennially until 1940, after which the period varied. The first nationwide census of agriculture was taken in 1840 as part of the Sixth Decennial Census of Population. Since that time the census of agriculture has developed from a small part of the census of population to a separate large-scale census. The first census of agriculture was limited to such items as the production of principal crops, an inventory of the principle classes of domestic animals, the production of wool and the value of dairy and poultry products. Each succeeding census has been broadened to reflect the rapid change in farming practices brought about by the increased application of scientific findings and the growing mechanization in agriculture. Some information on transportation was compiled and published in connection with the decennial censuses of 1880 and 1890 though they were not regarded as censuses in their own right. Information on home ownership has been obtained in each decennial census since 1890 and there has been a separate large-scale decennial census of housing since 1940.

U.S. Decennial Census Publications
This collection of census material dates from 1790 (when the first decennial census of population was conducted) to 1970. It forms an inventory of the growth and development of the United States in all its measurable dimensions. Since 1790 the decennial census has been extended to produce statistical data in a variety of fields. Examples of areas covered in this collection are population, manufactures, agriculture, transportation, and housing. The census of manufactures was first taken in 1810 and provides detailed data on manufacturing activities for small geographic areas, individual industries, products shipped, and materials consumed. This census was taken decennially until 1940, after which the period varied. The first nationwide census of agriculture was taken in 1840 as part of the Sixth Decennial Census of Population. Since that time the census of agriculture has developed from a small part of the census of population to a separate large-scale census. The first census of agriculture was limited to such items as the production of principal crops, an inventory of the principle classes of domestic animals, the production of wool and the value of dairy and poultry products. Each succeeding census has been broadened to reflect the rapid change in farming practices brought about by the increased application of scientific findings and the growing mechanization in agriculture. Some information on transportation was compiled and published in connection with the decennial censuses of 1880 and 1890 though they were not regarded as censuses in their own right. Information on home ownership has been obtained in each decennial census since 1890 and there has been a separate large-scale decennial census of housing since 1940.
