the article is devoted to describing Karelian-specific features of the censuses of 1897 and 1926 by means of comprehensive archival data analysis from the documentary collections of statistical regional operators responsible for the two census campaigns (currently stored in the National Archives of the Republic of Karelia). Both enterprises were meant as the ultimate collection of valuable and most overall inclusive data about the national population. The article shows both the scientific and genealogically oriented potentials of the archival census documents.
