The Census Reference Collection is divided into two major portions:

   • covers through 1945
   • organized by entry numbers in Dubester bibliography, noted below
   • we don't have everything listed in the bibliography
   • Dubester #1 - 1301 derive from the decennial censuses
   • Dubester #1310-3664 are non-decennial publications
2. "SuDoc" section
   
   • covers 1946-present
