Subject: [Genealib] Census indexes

 

Does anyone still keep the print indexes to the various census schedules,
namely, the ones from Ronald Vern Jackson (Accelerated Indexing System) and
Precison Indexing?

Since the census can be searched online in simple or advanced levels and
exact or Soundex spellings, why would anyone want to use them?

I need to do some serious weeding and they take up a lot of precious shelf
space.

Thank you.
