Hi
Is it possible to download the original census (analytical) reports anywhere on the site?
Kind regards
Calumn

Unfortunately, no, IPUMS International does not publish copies of original census reports alongside the data. They do make [original enumeration materials](https://international.ipums.org/international/enum_materials.shtml) available, however. For specific samples, I would recommend checking with the statistical agencies listed in the [Sample Descriptions](https://international.ipums.org/international-action/sample_details) to see if reports are readily available.

Thank you for your reply grover, I now understand more clearly exactly what IPUMS contains having read the supporting documents and FAQs in more detail, and it will still be very helpful with my work - thank you 🙂
