Recapturing History
Gebeloff uses a PowerPoint Presentation to show how to use IPUMS (Integrated Public Use Microdata), a website maintained by the University of Minnesota, to find trends. IPUMS uses data collected by the census but analyzes them in ways the official census has not published. He shows, for example, a table showing where self-employed Chinese who work in Manhattan live. This was not published by the Census.
