Description

Sub-sub-series consists of returns for the 1911 Canadian census - also known as the Fifth Census of Canada. For the year 1911, only a microfilm copy of the returns for Population - Schedule 1 or A1 - exists. The records are nominal, listing each person individually, with details as to sex, marital status, age, country of place of birth, year of immigration, etc. This sub-sub-series is part of the Statistics Canada fonds.
La sous-sous-série comprend les résultats du recensement canadien de 1911, aussi appelé le cinquième recensement du Canada. Pour l'année 1911, il n'existe qu'une copie sur microfilm des résultats du dénombrement de la population (tableau 1 ou A1). Les enregistrements sont nominaux, indiquant chaque personne individuellement, avec des détails sur le sexe, l'état matrimonial, l'âge, le pays de naissance, l'année d'immigration, etc. Cette sous-sous-série fait partie du fonds Statistique Canada.
The microfilm copies of the 1911 census returns were produced outside of the Library and Archives Canada during the 1950s. Users of the microfilm are advised that it is not of a consistent standard and as such, not all images are decipherable. The paper records have not survived. Les copies sur microfilm des résultats du recensement de 1911 ont été produites à l'extérieur de Bibliothèque et Archives Canada au cours des années 1950. Les utilisateurs sont avisés que la reproduction de ces documents sur microfilm est de qualité variable et que, par conséquent, toutes les images ne sont pas lisibles. Les dossiers papier ont été détruits.

Textual (microform) (Paper) Finding aid 31-1 is the published "Catalogue of Census Returns on Microfilm, 1666-1891," which provides an alphabetical listing by place name within each province. The information in this published catalogue has mostly been incorporated into LAC's online Census reference guide, however the published catalogue still provides a means of deciphering how districts changed during those census years.
Textual (microform) (Paper) Finding aid 31-8 is a typed "Finding Aid Census 1881" consisting of three parts: 1. an index of census districts in alphabetical order, 2. an index of sub-districts in alphabetical order, 3. a shelf-list of microfilm, indicating on which reel the returns for a district or sub-district may be found, as well as any missing schedules. The information in this finding aid has since been incorporated into LAC's online Census reference guide.
(Electronic) Library and Archives Canada's online Census reference guides provide additional information for researchers working with the census returns in this sub-sub-series.
