美国国家档案馆于1992年3月2日开放1920年的人口普查档案。 自]790年以来,美国每10年进行一次人口普查。1920年的人口普查像其他任何一次人口普查一样,虽然只能为我们提供一个美国的特写镜头——一张快照,但是,鉴于它记载了从阿拉斯加到佛罗里达,从普林斯顿到火奴鲁鲁的每个家庭及个人的情况,即整整一代人的情况,这些开放的档案可能是现有的关于当时美国人情况的唯一可靠资料。由于这些档案可以告诉人们关于他们的上一代人或者关于他们的某个特定亲属的情况,现在许多人都早已等待着这些档案的开放。
The U.S. National Archives opened its 1920 census archives on March 2, 1992. Since 790, the United States has conducted a census every 10 years. The 1920 census, like any other census, provided us with a close-up of the United States - a snapshot, but, as it chronicles each and every one from Alaska to Florida, from Princeton to Honolulu Family and individual circumstances, that is, the entire generation of people, these open archives may be the only reliable information available on the prevailing American situation at that time. Since these files can tell people about their previous generation or about a particular relative of them, many are now awaiting the opening of these files.
