He’s b-ac-k!

Thomas MacEntee — one of our favorite speakers — is back by demand to get us ready for the upcoming release of the 1950 Census in April.

Join us Tuesday,  Oct. 26 at a revised time,  7:15 p.m., by Zoom to hear him talk on “The 1950 US Census:  Are You Ready?”  Thomas is retiring as a lecturer at the end of the year, so you won’t want to miss his last presentation for us.

Even though he’s speaking a little later, social time on Zoom will open at 6:30 p.m.

Remember all the excitement in 2012 around the release of the 1940 US Census? The results of the 1950 US Census will be made public on Friday, Apr. 1, 2022, following the “72 Year Rule” for records at the National Archives.

It’s never too early to prepare for this valuable data release!

Thomas will get us up to speed on the history of the 1950 US Census, why the 1950 US Census form is radically different from previous forms, and how the data will be accessed. He’ll also cover what you can do NOW to prepare for the release of the 1950 US Census, as well as volunteer projects related to indexing and finding aids. Finally, he will cover how you can always get the latest information related to the release of the 1950 US Census data.
