The Census Area
Print Census reports are located in the Census Area of the U.S. Documents collection (Morris Library, Lower Level). Most, but not all, of these volumes are listed in DELCAT. The Census Area consists of the statistical, informational, and administrative publications from the Census Bureau. Genealogical information, such as the Census schedules, are not located here (except for one series from 1790). Census Area materials do not circulate.
