Please be patient.) Due to a fire on Jan. 10, 1921, at the Commerce Department in Washington D.C., the only paper copy of the 1890 census was vitually destroyed. Only a few pieces of a very few pages survived, none for the state of Illinois. There is no other copy or microfilm of that census. |
| Venice and the U.S. Census |
|
The U.S. Census is taken every ten years and is known as the Decennial Census. The first census was taken in 1790 and one has been taken every ten years since. Through the 1990 census, they were taken by enumerators walking house to house and writing the required information longhand on large paper forms. The quality of the handwriting and the reproduction of the sheets onto microfilm, can present a challenge to those trying to read or research the information. The 2000 and 2010 censuses made significant use of computers. The digitized microfilm images are released to the public, by law, 72 years after the census was taken, so the last released census is for the year 1940. The committee's census archive for Venice goes back to 1850, the first census after its name was established.
