 Census images for the 1851, 1881, 1901 and 1911 census are available at [http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/index-e.html Library and Archives Canada], You may search these images by location, but not by name.&nbsp; The 1901 and 1911 census have indexes or partial indexes available at [http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html Automatedgenealogy.com]. Indexes and images for 1851, 1891, 1901 and 1911 are available on [http://www.ancestry.ca/search/default.aspx www.ancestry.ca].&nbsp; FamilySearch and Ancestry have announced a partnership to digitize and index the 1861 and 1871 census images.&nbsp; Presently there are no province-wide indexes for these records.<br>
+The Library of Canada probably has most of the assorted indexes to censuses that have been compiled and published. Québec is not as well served as either New Brunswick or Ontario, but there are some. Ralph Neil Broadhurst, of Calgary (Kintracers) has published:
+*''Index to the 1871 census of Québec: Brome County (1992)''
+*''Index to the 1871 census of Québec: Missisquoi County (1992)''
+*''Index to the 1871 census of Québec: Shefford County (1992)''
+*''Index to the 1881 census of Québec: Shefford County (1992)''
+The 1871 Census of Stanstead Co., has been indexed, and the Québec Family History Society will sell you these as well as:
+*''1851 Census Index Hemmingford Twp., Hemmingford County''
+*''1851 Census Index, Parish of Sherrington, Napierville County''
+*''1851 Census Index Huntingdon Village, Huntingdon County''
+*''1851 Census Index Shipton and Windsor, Richmond County''
+Glenn Eker has published a series of detailed indexes and databases of individuals of Jewish origins drawn from the census returns:
+::''Jewish residents of Montréal and Québec City in the 1871-1901 censuses of Canada'' (Avotaynu, Inc., c. 1993), 2 microfiche
+::''Jewish residents of Greater Québec province, excluding Greater Montréal and Québec City, in the 1871-1901 censuses of Canada'' (Teaneck, New Jersey: Avotaynu, Inc., c. 1994), 1 microfiche.
+He has also indexed the Maritimes (1871-1901) and Toronto (1861-1901).
+''Census for the Township of Hull, L.C.'' has been “arranged in alphabetical order by Bruce S. Elliott” (1973), and the Ottawa Branch of the OGS has published a series of census indexes for townships across the river in Ontario. More are being completed so do check catalogues and bibliographies for new additions.
+'''Note:''' The [http://www.familysearch.org. Canadian Census] for 1881 (4 April 1881) has been indexed and is searchable on the Internet. This Index includes all individuals, giving name, age, gender, location at the time of the census, birthplace, ethnic origin, occupation, religion, marital status and notations.
+'''Warning: '''Since there are pages missing from some returns, because some ink had faded to illegibility, and the microfilming was not always of the best, names are inevitably missing. The U.S. census for 1880 is also available, and should make it far easier to trace the many Canadians who moved to “the States”.
+The Archives Division has digitized the entire 1901 census and posted it on the Internet, however it is not indexed and can be searched only by place.<ref>Douglas, Althea.

 Indexes for a few localities within the province are listed in the Locality Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under QUEBEC, [COUNTY], [TOWN] - CENSUS.
 The national censuses from 1921 to the present are not available to the public.
