The original film includes defects that affect the legibility of some frames; the original schedules no longer exist. Booms in Los Angeles came and went several times between 1870 and 1930, the end of the Homestead’s interpretive period.

EDs were the areas that an enumerator covered in taking the census. To consult the schedules for a particular town, a minor civil division or geographical area, or a ward of a large city, you must know the enumeration district. National Archives Microfilm Publication T1224 describes ED boundaries as they were in 1910; present-day boundaries may not be the same.

With the exception of Louisiana, which used both, each state is indexed with either Soundex or Miracode as noted at the beginning of the state listing. The information on Soundex cards is handwritten; that on Miracode cards is printed. The microfilm cataloged here has been reproduced by the National Archives and Records Administration from the highest quality master negatives available from the Bureau of the Census.

— On the schedules, the enumerators sometimes transposed the number of the supervisor's district and the enumeration district (ED). The EDs and visitation numbers, however, remain in the correct numerical order. The individual card contains data on a person who (1) was not an immediate member of the family, or who (2) had a surname different from the head of family, or who (3) resided in an institution without a family. For the 1910 census, the Bureau of the Census created and filmed Soundex or Miracode index cards for the states listed above in General Information.

The prices as of May 15, 1996, are $34 a roll for domestic orders ($39 a roll for foreign orders) for positive film copies. The 1910 census schedules and indexes are only available on microfilm.
