Microfilmed copies of this census are held at the State Historical
Society of Iowa and the LDS Family History Library. The 1890 U.S.
Federal Census was damaged and destroyed by fire in 1921. Less than 1
percent of the schedules are available for research today. Because of
this problem, the 1885 Iowa State Census has become a highly valuable
source as it provides a wealth of information that would otherwise be
found in the Federal Census.
