Records
Some records of the Hopi Agency are in the Pacific Regional Archives of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Los Angeles. They consist mostly of administrative records for the Moqui Pueblo Agency prior to the name change which took place in 1923. However, there is a census of the Hopi Indians in the Western Navajo Agency, 1922-1924, and a Register of Pupils, 1907-1911 which may be of interest to family historians.

Microfilm copies of ...Narrative and Statistical Reports... for the Hopi Agency, 1924-1936, are included in National Archives Microcopy M1011, roll 65-66, available in the National Archives system and in the collections of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City (their ). Reports for some years are missing.

Annual Indian Census Rolls were taken at this agency for 1924 thru 1939. These rolls have been microfilmed by the National Archives as part of their Microcopy Number M595, rolls 188 thru 195. Copies of these records are also available at the National Archives, their Regional Archives, and at the Family History Library and its family history centers (their microfilm numbers ). These census rolls are also available online at Ancestry.com's subscription web site.
