Alaska Census

Federal census records are found at the Family History Library, the National Archives, and other federal and state archives. The United States Research Outline provides more detailed information about these records.

The Family History Library has the U.S. federal censuses for Alaska for 1900, 1910, and 1920. The 1890 census has been destroyed. Soundex (phonetic) indexes are available on microfilm for the 1900 and 1920 censuses.

In addition to the federal censuses, the 1870 and 1880 territorial censuses of Sitka have been published (FHL film 982047). These censuses include information on the entire household.

Miscellaneous censuses of parts of the Aleutian Islands have been indexed in Ronald Vern Jackson, Alaska Census Records, 1870-1907 (Bountiful, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, 1976; FHL book 979.8 X22j).
