and downloading images of historical population reports;
the interface is to enable viewing and downloading of
machine-readable versions of statistical tables contained
within the reports.
This project includes the digitisation
of almost 600 volumes of census reports, reports of
the Registrars-General and associated published statistical
material emanating from both the English and Scottish
General Registers Offices and their predecessors, from
1801 through to 1933, along with a selection of associated
material in The National Archives (TNA) giving insight
into the administrative procedure followed in the taking
of the census; and the collection of registration material.
The final system will be capable of

collection of published census materials for the British
Isles and all registration material for England, Wales
and Scotland published before World War II.
