| The Puerto Rico 1920 U.S. Federal Census is available in
microfilm or CD-ROM format. You can purchase, rent or even, possibly, check
it out for free at your public library. Films would be the more costly choice
because it would require the purchase of a film viewer (if you're going to
be working with the film at home or at the office). Here is a list of sources
you can check into.
-
Free Source
LDS Family History Centers - Browsing is free for in-stock films (they
also have the viewers for your use). There's a $3 charge if the film has
to be ordered from elsewhere. The films must stay at the LDS Library. Check
your local phone book under "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"
or visit them at their web site:
http://www.familysearch.org/Search/searchfhc2.asp
to find your local Family History Center.
