Webinar: The 1950 Census

As more and more Federal U.S. government information is made available online every library, in fact every citizen with an internet connection, gains access to more Federal documents. To help NH libraries keep up with these resources we are going to include occasional posts here on Federal Depository Library news and information.

The FDLP announced today:

Register to attend the live training webinar, "The 1950 Census ."

	Date: Thursday, March 23, 2023 Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT)
Recording and closed captioning are available. All webinars are free of charge.

• Speaker: Claire Kluskens, Genealogy/Census Records Subject Matter Expert, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
• Learning outcomes: Federal decennial population census records provide a snapshot of families and individuals at 10-year intervals. The most recent publicly available census, 1950, was released for public use on April 1, 2022. This presentation provides an overview of what is and is not included in the 1950 census, what you can expect from NARA’s 1950 census website, and resources that can help librarians answer patron questions about the census.
