Often referred to as the first modern census, the 1850 census employed
improved techniques for collecting information. For the first time, enumerators
were provided printed instructions that explained their responsibilities,
census procedures, and the intent behind census questions. These instructions
accounted for a greater degree of accuracy in the census record.
