Zusammenfassung:This article describes new public use data samples made from the first and second ordinary U.S. Censuses of Puerto Rico and how and why these samples were created. The digital files were made by sampling and transcribing information from archival microfilms of the original census schedules. Textual information was transcribed verbatim. Procedures and coding conform to the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) standard for census samples. Versions of the files are currently available from IPUMS (http://www.ipums.umn.edu/usa/) and the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR Data Archive) (http://www.icpsr.umich.edu).
