Hello,

The recent release of the 1950 Full Count Census is excellent news. However, when would it be available in IPUMS?

I do not have a definitive timeline for releasing the 1950 full count files. IPUMS will partner with Ancestry to make the 1950 data available for research applications; we will share updates via email and [IPUMS USA](http://usa.ipums.org/) as we learn more about the data transcription schedule.

HI, Any update on when the 1950 full count will be available through IPUMs? Even if you can’t give a specific date, a range would be helpful. If you don’t have it, is it available through another venue? thank you.
