  6. Electronic Data, 1970 and after • CensusCD bridges the gap for 1970 and 1980 • 1990 – CD-ROM distribution, many of these products still in libraries • 2000 – fully electronic, American Factfinder, PUMS directly from Census Maps distributed to depositories since 1960, online for 1990 and 2000 • 6

Summary 1790-1930 - Census schedules (full listings of names) available in microform. 1940 will be released soon. 1790-1840 - Summary data available in print Census, online PDFs, and extracted in several online databases (Social Explorer, ICPSR, Historical Statistics of US) 1850-1950 - Public-Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) available. Otherwise, same as 1790-1840 1960 - Tract maps distributed to libraries. Otherwise, same as above. 1970, 1980 - CensusCD makes detailed electronic data available. Otherwise, same as above. 1990 - First Census with substantial digital delivery. Libraries have extensive CD-ROM data and map files. Now American FactFinder delivers 1990 data and maps too. 2000 - Data and Maps from 2000 Census delivered primarily through American FactFinder . 2010 - Will also be distributed through American FactFinder. The same will be true for 2010 Census data. American Community Survey supplants Census for many of the "long form" questions. • 7
