U.S. Censuses in the Auburn Libraries
Clicking on the year will run a subject search in the Auburn University Libraries Classic Catalog. These listings include the Libraries' holdings of both the statistical and manuscript censuses. Remember, the manuscript census is released only after seventy years have passed, making 1940 the most current release. Also, Auburn primarily selects the manuscript census for Alabama and selected counties of other mainly southeastern states.
