Census
Census materials include all of the available federal census population schedules for Iowa dating from 1850-1930. Iowa State Censuses are available for 1885, 1895, 1905 and 1925. Holdings for 1905 are incomplete – please contact us for information about our holdings.
We have an extensive collection of printed federal census indexes as well as census transcriptions for many Illinois counties. You can search for specific information about the printed census indexes in our online catalog.
