Iowa territorial and state censuses supplemented the federal censuses which began in 1840 and continued every ten years. The earlier census records are hit and miss for years and counties
available and many are not filmed but are available to order in book form.

- 1885 census
- 1895 census
- 1905 census (catalog warns this is hard to read)
- 1915 census (is filmed on 16mm with high reduction 42x filming and needs a high magnification reader to read)
