Editing names for census "Year or Description"
Posted: 08 Feb 2024 14:13
Is there a way to edit the "Year or Description" is the census template definitions or do I need to copy and edit the template to form my own set?
Reason:
For Canada; the year alone doesn't accurately represent the scope of the census, since certain years weren't country-wide. If one wishes to use the "Year or Description" in a citation, some alteration is needed. The 1871 census could be a particular issue, since there are two versions in that year.
Suggestion:
Below; I've included the current descriptions on the Library and Archives Canada site for information.
As one can see, they are not exceedingly long, but essential for clarity. Perhaps ththe description could be modified in a future version of the predefined templates?
