International Population Census Publications for Latin America and the Caribbean, 1990-2005. Printed volumes of Latin American tabular data, held by the U.S. Census Bureau International Library (subset of larger, comprehensive collection held by the Census Bureau), per Lara Cleveland at IPUMS.

The Census Bureau participates in an international publication exchange with counterpart national statistical agencies, a program that has contributed many publications within the Bureau's International Collection. The Bureau's International Collection began growing substantially with the Census Bureau’s increased international analytical and technical assistance activities in the post-World War II years. The entire collection was cataloged at the turn of the millennium and moved to its current location in 2007.

Through a joint project, CRL and IPUMS will digitize and preserve data from printed population census volumes from the U.S. Census Bureau's international collection. The University of Minnesota already has agreements with more than 100 countries to disseminate census microdata samples and related census documentation for scholarly and policy research use. IPUMS is confident that the vast majority, if not all, agreements cover dissemination of published reports.

The first phase of the project will produce high quality digital scans of Latin American historical census results.
