government statistics . The print publications Bureau of the Census
catalog of publications 1790-1970 and supplements (C3.163/3: ) and Historical
statistics of the United States: Colonial times to 1970 may also be useful.
The population censuses or decennial censuses have been issued since
l790 (years ending 0) with the housing statistics component added in the
l940 census. The Bureau conducts a population survey program designed
to update some data. Statistics from this survey are released in print,
Current Population Reports C3.186: SSRC-docs and in electronic
format, Current population surveys. Other censuses are taken every five
years on years ending 2 and 7 and include those for agriculture, governments,
manufacturing, transportation, and the economic censuses (retail trade,
wholesale trade, and service industries). The 1997 census of agriculture
was conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service within the
Agriculture Department.
These censuses are also updated by surveys including government employment
and finance series, Annual
survey of manufactures and County
business patterns.
The Decennial Censuses from 1790 through 1970 are shelved in the reference
area known as SSRC-Docs, the Social Science Resource Center, Green Library,
the Bing Wing. The years 1980 and 1990 are shelved in the Fed-Docs Stacks,
Green Library, the Bing Wing.

on years ending "2" and "7".

l939, l948, l954, l958, l963, l967, l972, l977,l982 and 1987. Censuses
for l929 and l939 were taken as part of the l930 and l940 decennial censuses
and those for l933 and l935 were taken as special projects. The census

The first census of manufactures was taken in l809 and again every l0 years
between l809 and l899 (except for the year l829), censuses were taken every
5 years between l899 and l9l9 and every 2 years through l939. After World
War II the manufactures censuses were conducted for the years l947, l954,
l958, l963, l967, l972, l977, and l982. Future censuses will be conducted
every 5 years in years ending "2" and "7".
The Annual survey of manufactures was conducted each year from l949
to l953, l955 to l957, l959 to l962, l964 to l966 to l97l, l973 to l976,
l978 to l98l, and l983 to present. These surveys (based on a scientific
sample of manufacturing establishments) provide statistics for the years
between the censuses. Commodity survey data also appears in the series
Current industrial reports published monthly, quarterly, and annually
depending on the commodity.
