The Main Library has census schedules dating back to 1790. Schedules through 1920 are available for the southeastern states. Many of these are indexed. The indexes can be found by searching the online catalog by state (e.g. Georgia census). Many of these indexes are located in the microform area in the basement of the Main Library.
See the guide "Census Schedules at the UGA Libraries" for detailed information.
