University of Guelph. Canadian Industry in 1871 Project : In 1982 Dr. Gerald and Elizabeth Bloomfield and a team in the Geography Department at the University of Guelph decided to automate the Industrial Schedule from the 1871 Census to facilitate geographic and historical research. With grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council this was first done for Ontario. Once completed, additional funds were obtained from SSHRC to enter the data for Quebec and the Maritimes. The project was completed in 1990. This database will be very useful in helping researchers understand many aspects of Canadian industrialization in the 19th century. CANIND71 can be used in conjunction with Schedule 1, the Nominal List of the Living, of the 1871 Census which has also been computerized.
