The '''Minnesota Historical Society '''created guides of their collection for the 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, and 1905 censuses that include a county index, an introduction that lists counties that have no schedule, and a roll content list that has the subdivisions (townships, municipalities) in each county and the order they appear on the roll.
 
The Minnesota Historical Society’s Genealogical Resources of the Minnesota Historical Society, A Guide has information on all the censuses that pertain to Minnesota. (See the "[[Minnesota Archives and Libraries|Minnesota Archives and Libraries]]" article.)
 
Some of the early territorial censuses have been published in the ''Minnesota Genealogist ''and the ''Minnesota Genealogical Journal''.
