These rolls have been microfilmed by the [http://www.archives.gov/ National Archives] as part of their Microcopy Number M595, roll 543. Copies of these records are also available at the National Archives, their Regional Archives, and at the Family History Library and its family history centers (their {{FHL|297519|title-id|disp=microfilm number 583002}}).

 The 1900 federal census included population schedules for the Shevits Indians of Southern Utah. These schedules were not classified in the Bureau of Census records as a separate district, but were simply included in District 175, Santa Clara Precinct in Washington County, Utah. However, the Shevits Indians in this precinct were recorded on [[Indian Population Schedules -- 1900 United States Census|Indian Population Schedules]].
