Background[edit | edit source]
Types of censuses[edit | edit source]
Algerian Population Census[edit | edit source]
Since its independence, Algeria has conducted censuses in 1966, 1977, 1987, and 2020--these records are likely stored at the National Archives.
French census[edit | edit source]
The French censuses provide some details about native Algerians, but mostly record information about European Algerians.[1]
Ottoman census[edit | edit source]
The National Archives of Algeria have a series of Sharia Courts Records that date back to the Ottoman Period. The Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi (Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister's Office) in Istanbul may also have Ottoman records for Algeria, but in order to access them you must either be a Turkish citizen or make a special request.
Information Recorded in the Records[edit | edit source]
- National Archives of Algeria: Contains the administrative documents of the Algerian government since 1962, likely including the census records of 1966, 1977, 1987, 1998, and 2020. The older Sharia Courts Series obtained from the French in 1974 dates back to the Ottoman period and includes the following records: probate, marriage, divorce, declarations of lineage, and inheritance. This document (Arabic) describes the holdings of the Archive.
- Département d'Oran, fonds de la préfecture, sous-série 1 G, population Archival: A Department of Oran in Algeria book with census information from 1906, 1911, 1931, and 1954; contains births, marriages, deaths, population statistics and movements.
