'''Introduction''' | |||
A census is a count and description of the population. Censuses have been taken by various levels of government in Argentina and by some ecclesiastical officials. Census records were taken primarily for population studies, taxation, military purposes, or taxing in behalf of the parish poor. Censuses, known as censos or padrones, have been taken by colonial and national governments throughout Latin American. Most of the census records are housed in the national archives. | A census is a count and description of the population.
