Library and Archives Canada puts 1916 Prairie Census online

David Akin
This is kinda cool ...

Still trying to figure out how I might use this new nearly-hundred-old
data in a story for tomorrow's papers ... Ideas?

"Access to the digitized images of the 1916 Census is available online
in two different ways:

    * Through a database that is searchable by Province, District
Name, District Number, and Sub-district Number. The database is
available at: www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1916/index-e.html
    * Through the research tool "Microform Digitization," you can
browse the microfilm reels page by page. The tool is available at:
www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/index-e.html

"

I just love that it had so many questions.  These were the precursors
to the quinquennial censuses that became the norm nationally,  We no
longer have so many questions!

You could talk about how much we used to collect and why would we
collect less now!
