Source of title:

Title is based on the contents of the sub-sub-series.

Custodial history:

The original paper census returns were microfilmed in the 1950s by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The original paper returns were destroyed.

In 2005-2006, because of concerns regarding the deterioration of the 1950s-era acetate microfilms, Statistics Canada copied the microfilms, creating a new master on a more stable support (polyester-based microfilm).

Copy/version note:

The digitized images were prepared from the microfilmed census returns.

Restrictions on access note:

The digitized copies of these records must be consulted rather than the microfilm originally received by Library and Archives Canada.

Accruals:

No further accruals are expected.
