Census Volumes Moved
As part of the relocation of the U.S. government documents depository collection, the decennial census volumes have been transferred to Lehman Library.
The census volumes 1950-2000 are now located at HA 201 [yr] in the Lehman stacks downstairs. They are all non-circulating.
CLIO records are in the process of updating, as are the census web pages.
I hope to have all of the web pages updated within the next two weeks, but I'm sure that there will be a few errant volumes to deal with over the summer.
