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 337,000 heads-of-household listed
in the 1850 federal census from four southern states. You'll find 123,322 individuals
from Alabama, 40,238 individuals from Arkansas, 96,813 individuals from Louisiana,
and 76,709 individuals from Mississippi.
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.
