Colonial censuses (or similar lists of names) exist for 1747 to 1754, 1774, and 1782. These generally name the head of the household and the number of persons in the family. Many of these have been published, such as John R. Bartlett, comp., ''Census of the Inhabitants of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, 1774'' (Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1969; FHL book 974.5 X2pb, fiche 6046611). | Colonial censuses (or similar lists of names) exist for 1747 to 1754, 1774, and 1782.

State censuses were taken at 10-year intervals from 1865 to 1936. (The 1936 census was actually taken during 1935-36.) The 1895 census is missing. Microfilm copies are at the Family History Library for the complete 1865, 1875, 1885, 1915, 1925, and 1936 censuses. An index to the 1865 census is on FHL films 934776-99. The original 1865, 1875, 1885, and 1905 to 1936 state censuses are at the Rhode Island State Archives. The state censuses provide information similar to that in the federal censuses. <!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --> | State censuses were taken at 10-year intervals from 1865 to 1936.
