IPUMS Document Collection
Search for a document in the IPUMS Document Collection. Not all documents are scanned in full. For documents with only a cover or partial scan, users can contact ipums@umn.edu for more information. (NOTE: the collection currently only contains the regions of Africa and Oceania; more to be added soon.)
The IPUMS Document Collection system/tool allows researchers to explore our collection.
In the course of our harmonization work, IPUMS has received a large number of population-related documents from various sources, including the United States Census Bureau (USCB), United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), Latin American and Caribbean Demographic Center (CELADE), East-West Center, Population Development and Research Center (CEPED), and over one hundred statistical agencies.
These materials are being curated and made publicly available to enrich the research of IPUMS data users. The document collection is not limited to materials associated with the datasets distributed by IPUMS. Examples of materials in the collection include correspondence, maps, enumerator instructions, supervisor instructions, training materials, codebooks, publicity, reports, newspaper clippings, unpublished papers, census timetables, data processing materials, and technical manuals.
