Complete Count US Census Micro Data

By agreement with Minnesota Population Center(MPC) and Ancestry.com digitized complete count micro-data from US census of 1790 - 1940 are available at the Demography Lab in a convenient yet secure computing environment. Although these data are not yet harmonized and cleaned to the usual IPUMS standards, there is a great deal of immensely valuable information in this newly available data source.

Getting Access

The first step in getting access to the data send email to Carl Mason with a brief description of your research project. The entire application process generally takes less that 3 days. Help in getting setup and ind using the data are available from Demography Lab staff as well as from the growing community of users.
