Where can I find UK agricultural statistics covering the first fifty years of the 20th century?

Historical agricultural statistics can be found in agricultural reports derived from census returns. These can be found in our collection of parliamentary papers. We have a complete set of parliamentary papers in hard copy format and also electronic access via Parliamentary Papers Online.

The government publication Annual Abstract of Statistics can be used for later years. There are also a number of reference books in the Social Sciences reading room that provide historical statistics at a glance.

Electoral registers are lists of names of those entitled to vote at an election and are produced for each parliamentary constituency. The British Library holds electoral registers for all parliamentary constituencies from 1947 to date.
