This is a guide to census publications for
the Dominican Republic for the years 1920, 1935, 1950, 1960, 1970, and

categories: (1) census results; (2) coding and enumerator manuals,
census planning documents and miscellaneous; (3) territorial divisions;
and (4) agricultural censuses. The latter, while different from
population censuses, lists the number of persons according to farm size
and similar information."
The entries contain original titles in
either English or Spanish with no translations. Where available,
comments concerning the reliability of the data source are included,
and the location of the materials is noted. A separate section deals
