This page provides a list of historical census datasets designated for further digitization and publication on the site. Due to their large scale, they require especially long processing.

If you would like to prioritize work on a specific dataset, you can do it in the way of providing special grant-like donations (details can be discussed by email). In this case, this work will be done as quickly as possible. For an additional donation, the publication of such data on the site may be delayed for a certain time.

With no funding such important data may remain undigitized (and therefore inaccessible for quick and convenient editing and analysis) for years. However, with your help we can fix this!

Over time this list may change: completed projects will be removed from it, but at the same time new ones may add in it.
