The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) released 5.4 million digital images of handwritten census forms of the 1950 U.S. Census of population. We are excited to continue our partnership with Ancestry to create a massive new data resource for research, extending our full count data series from 1850 to 1950. Today you can enjoy browsing images and trying out the NARA name index. As we learn more about the data transcription schedule, we will keep you apprised of our timeline to release our largest full count data yet: 151 million persons and 44 million households.
