Genealogy on Archive.org

Where would you go for a free complete copy of the U.S. Census with all of the images from the National Archives from 1790 to 1930? FamilySearch.org is missing some years of images. HeritageQuestOnline.com has images but only partial indexes and it is available only through libraries. You go to Archive.org. But if you haven't searched this valuable website for other genealogical resources, you are missing one of the most interesting a valuable websites on the Internet for genealogy.

I decided to give a sample of some of the collections on Archive.org because the website is more than a little complicated and difficult to use. Here is a sample of some of the offerings:
