Abstract:
|
Historians call it “the usable past.” The paper will discuss: a) who writes census history and why, b) will illustrate where it is disseminated (kept in private papers, in census volumes, in special volumes published by the census bureau, online dissemination, other books and reports published external to the census bureau, c) how such history is supported, sponsored or commissioned, and d) the uses of the history for census takers, census users, and for students of the history of statistics and the nation.
