The Institute of Canadian Studies and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints collaborated to create a database of the 1881 Canadian Census. The Church microfilmed the records and volunteers assisted with data entry. The Institute of Canadian Studies, along with other Canadian genealogical societies, checked for inconsistencies and cleaned-up the data. Future collaboration between social scientists, historians, and genealogists may produce similar projects.
