<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">Do you have the opening of the 1940 Census on April
2, 2012 marked on your calendar? We do here at the National Archives. </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">For past Census releases we provided access to the
Census on microfilm. <FONT color=#800000 size=3>For the 1940 Census we will be
providing <STRONG>free</STRONG> online access.</FONT> You’ll be able to search
on the internet using the public computers in our research rooms or your own
computer. Our Digitization Lab has completed the digitization of the 1940
Census, creating over 3.8 million digital images of Census schedules, maps, and
enumeration district descriptions. In addition we have indexed the Census
schedules to the enumeration district level</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">NOW I can stop trying to figure out how to get
access to the 1940 census records. </P>
