Fonds consists of microfilmed census returns. The census returns of 1921 (microfilm reels M-8028 to M-8045) are arranged by district, subdivided into numbered sections. The returns of 1935 (microfilm reels M-8046 to M-8064) are arranged in volumes, numbered in a single sequence from 1 to 36, with several volumes being devoted to the larger districts and the city of St. John's. The returns of 1945 (microfilm reels M-8065 to M-8079) are similarly arranged in volumes, numbered 1 to 44. The arrangement of the returns, the numbering of their pages, and the microfilming were carried out prior to the transfer of the records to the provincial archives.
