This data set includes an index to the 1850 census and
scanned images of the actual records themselves — in the census taker's own
handwriting! The index references approximately 127,000 heads-of-household listed
in the 1850 federal census from five western states. On images of the actual census
pages you'll find information for all individuals who lived in those households.
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.
