Where to Find Statistics
1. US Census Bureau publications
The Census Bureau produces the decennial population censuses and an enormous number of other statistical compilations relating to the economy and other topics. Every state will have at least several federal government document repository libraries which receive Census Bureau publications. You also may borrow microfilm of the censuses through 1920 via the National Archives= Microfilm Rental Program. See the National Archives= web site for details. For detailed information about census publications, the best guides are:
Cook, Kevin L. Dubester=s U.S. Census Bibliography with SuDocs Class Numbers and Indexes. Englewood, CO: Libraries Unlimited, 1996.
United States. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Bureau of the Census Catalog of Publications, 1790-1972. Washington, DC: US Department of Commerce, Social and Economic Statistics Administration, Bureau of the Census, 1974.
Two extremely useful publications which most university and many public libraries will have are:
United States. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Historical Statistics of the United States, Colonial Times to 1970. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, 1975.
You may find other editions of this publication with slightly different names. It provides tables of statistical information relating to population, agriculture, the economy, education, and other topics covering broad spans of years. The data primarily was collected by government agencies.
United States. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Statistical Abstract of the United States. Washington, DC: GPO, 1879-present.
This is an annual publication with quite detailed information about an extraordinary variety of topics. The tables often provide data for the previous twenty or more years.
2. International statistical publications
There are several compilations of statistics for world history, similar to Historical Statistics of the United States. They are available primarily at university libraries, although major public libraries may have copies. The following volumes were all edited by Brian R. Mitchell.
European Historical Statistics, 1750-1975. 2nd rev. ed. New York, NY: Facts on File, 1980.
International Historical Statistics: Africa, Asia, & Oceania, 1750-1993. 3d ed. London: Macmillan Reference; New York, NY: Stockton Press, 1998.
International Historical Statistics: Europe, 1750-1993. 4th ed. London: Macmillan Reference; New York, NY: Stockton Press, 1998.
International Historical Statistics: The Americas, 1750-1993. 4th ed. London: Macmillan Reference; New York, NY: Stockton Press, 1998.
