1930 Census Purchase

Fifteenth Census of the United States (U.S. National Archives, T626). Based on members’ preferences, the following states (and Soundex, when available) were purchased in FY02. (CRL will eventually purchase the remaining states.)
In addition, in response to a request from the New York Public Library, additional finding aids in microfilm were purchased. (1,547 reels total purchased)

  • California (rolls 100-228) (OCLC #49857259);
  • Florida (rolls 306-335) (OCLC #49794390);
  • Georgia (rolls 336-394) (OCLC #49650939);
  • Illinois (rolls 405-573) (OCLC #49861459);
  • Massachusetts (rolls 883-971) (OCLC #49863175);
  • New York (rolls 1401-1670—no reel #1602) (OCLC #49589010);

  • Florida (M2051, rolls 1-98) (OCLC #49794391);

  • Virginia (M2059 rolls 1-127) (OCLC #49792209).

Because so few of the states have accompanying Soundex reels, CRL has completed its holdings of the following microfilm finding aids:

  • Index to Selected City Streets and Enumeration Districts, 1930 Census (M1930) (OCLC #49866945);
  • Enumeration District Maps for the Fifteenth Census of the United States. 1930 (M1931) (OCLC #49422087);

Other Microforms Recently Received (Through the Purchase Proposal Program)

  • Bibliothek der Frauenfrage in Deutschland, Parts 1-6 (Erlangen:Fischer, 1998-)
    14,867 microfiches + printed guide. (IDC Dist.) (OCLC #43612778)

This microfiche edition (estimated 12 parts in total) will include some 7,000 titles incorporating nearly all of the titles compiled by Sveistrup and von Zahn-Harnack in their 1933 bibliography. Material that appeared before 1790 makes it possible to make a whole collection of pieces of the learned literature of the women’s and gender issues from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries—which are extremely rare—once more easily accessible. The Bibliothek will specifically include monographs, miscellanies, and parts of periodicals which can no longer be accurately placed in their order of appearance. Thus this edition is designed to complement the set Historical Sources of Women’s Liberation Movement and Gender Issues. (from the publisher’s description)
