HIT: HS ref: census info.

[Kathy Ballard <kballard@HOMER.CNYRIC.ORG>]

Here is a hit of responses to my request for sites with historical census
information.

Our USII teacher was doing a project with historical census and we thought
the listed site was helpful for students.
http://fisher.lib.Virginia.edu/census/
(Note:  several people suggested the above site)
***
Try genealogy sites.  They have lots of census material transcribed.
***
There is a book that gives such info...Historical Statistics of the United
States from Colonial Times to 1970...pub. by the US Gov't.
***
Try http://icg.fas.harvard.edu/~census
***
I used Statistical Resources on the Web at:
        http://www.lib.umich.edu/libhome/Documents.center/stats.html
clicked on Demographics, and scrolled down to Census of Population and
Housing, Historical. There your teacher might check out "Census Data,
1790-1860" and "Census Data (Census Bureau)" for housing and population
data. A little more surfing throughout the choices here may find more
statistics of interest. Hope this helps.
***
Have you tried going to the Census Bureau and doing their search for
historical data? We've used the 1990 data from there.
