Transcribe the 1950 Census
Read cursive? You can help.
The National Archives launched the 1950 Census website on April 1, 2022. We hope you’ve had a chance to search the 1950 Census and learn more about your family history and life in the United States in 1950. The website has already had more than 1.4 million visitors, including 44 million page views and over 1.2 million names transcribed!
You can continue to help transcribe and refine our name index. Transcribing or submitting name updates helps improve the accuracy of the name index and make the records more searchable.
Really want to help. Too many worthy causes, not enough time left.
NPR had a story this morning about the availability of these census forms. I'm glad so many people are helping to transcribe the data.
