Bureau of the Census: the Bureau, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is the main source of statistics on the population and the economy, based on the decennial censuses and on smaller samplings of the population made between censuses. The Bureau publishes a selection of this information yearly in the Statistical Abstract as well as in the periodical Current Population Reports. A wider selection of statistics is available on the annual CD-ROM of the Statistical Abstract. There is also a CD-ROM of historical statistics (1790 to 1970) available through bookstores.

Migration News is a publication of the University of California at Davis available on paper and via the internet. It supplies original articles as well as digests of articles published elsewhere on the subject of immigration.
