The National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) is a project to create and freely disseminate a database incorporating all available aggregate census information for the United States between 1790 and 2000.
The NHGIS consists of three major components:
• Collect and enrich historical and contemporary U.S. Census summary data.
• Incorporate these data into a Geographic Information Systems framework.
• Create a web-based system for access to both census data and the metadata.
