On April 2 at 9:00 a.m., the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will make individual records from the 1940 U.S. Census available to the public for the first time. The U.S. Census Bureau has set up a special site in anticipation of the release. It contains links, an interactive overview of the 1940 Census, historical facts, videos, and pictures, and comparisons of the results of the 1940 Census with corresponding information from the 2010 Census. The preview site is well worth a look on its own. The Census website will directly link to the National Archives site.
Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free. If you have questions, please email The Business History Conference <web-admin [at] thebhc.org>...
