Library and Archives Canada 1931 Census

Hello, nancyfraser,

You’ve done quite well, form-wise; but there are a couple of issues with the details. Your draft states:

1931 census of Canada, Ontario, enumeration district 144 Port Arthur-Thunder Bay (144 B Thunder Bay), sub-district 1 Nipigon Twp, page 7, dwelling 49, family 48, Robert Fraser; imaged, “Census Search, 1931”, Library and Archives Canada (https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Record?app=census&IdNumber=81310547&ecopy=e011672090 : accessed 29 September 2024), ecopy number e011672090.

As the attached shows,

• Robert Fraser is in dwelling 49, family 48, but he is on page 5, rather than page 7.
• After we go to the URL, “ecopy number e011672090” is not something we have to search for at that URL to find the right image, so it should not be there in that layer for the website. The ecopy number (and the item number that is shown with it in the "details" sidebar) is a cataloging number that the archives uses for that record set. If we cite either number (which isn’t necessary for website use) we would put it in a third “citing ….” layer, as below:

1931 census of Canada, Ontario, enumeration district 144 Port Arthur-Thunder Bay (144 B Thunder Bay), sub-district 1 Nipigon Twp, page 7, dwelling 49, family 48, Robert Fraser; imaged, “Census Search, 1931”, Library and Archives Canada (https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Record?app=census&IdNumber=81310547&ecopy=e011672090 : accessed 29 September 2024); citing ecopy number e011672090.
