Seeking Digitized Census Block Maps for Los Angeles

  • 1.  Seeking Digitized Census Block Maps for Los Angeles

    Posted Jun 11, 2021 01:10 PM
    Hi MAGIRT members:

    A colleague is seeking digitized block maps that show detailed sections of Los Angeles, specifically for Pacoima and Pasadena from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and we only have print maps.  TIGER used to provide shp files but now they are gone.  Also interested in whether any library has digitized their US census print maps.   Please contact Maria Jankowska at majankowska@library.ucla.edu

    Thanks,
    Julia Gelfand (jgelfand@uci.edu)
