Hi I'm trilled to have access to all the census microfilm the archive has recently added. I did notice that in the 1920 section there are no massachusetts reels and I'm unaware of any damage done to the originals...was there some problem scanning or is missing at the Allen County Library?

Why don't you contact the Allen County Library? It might be an oversight on their part.

That's a good question - and in fact I did. And the manager in charge there wrote this:

"Our digitizing partner, Internet Archive, is responsible for all the digitizing and image loading. They were shipped everything--I don't know why they haven't been loaded."

And of course he suggested that we "keep checking" to see if they appear. However, since this is the only missing section of an otherwise completed lot I have the feeling there -is- oversight, on IA's part. So hopefully someone here who was involved in the process will be interested and check up on it.

Some of the Massachusetts data is miscataloged under "Fourth Conference on Mars", but most counties are still missing. It seems that the texts are there, just not accessible because of a cataloging problem.

Look at that! Thank you. It looks like most if not all of the counties are in fact there.

They should be renamed though, I searched like crazy and didn't come up with these. Even the keywords are wrong.

Most but not all! If anyone finds the Berkshire reel, I'd like to hear about it.
Best,
