## 1990 Cookbook

A cookbook published using recipes submitted by the U.S. Census Bureau'sJeffersonville, IN, National Processing Center employees in 1990.

The U.S. Census Bureau's Welfare and Recreation Association in Jeffersonville, IN, compiled this 1990 cookbook using recipes submitted by its employees as part of a fundraiser. Jeffersonville is the site of the Census Bureau's National Processing Center (NPC)—the primary center for mail processing, data capture and imaging/scanning. During the 1990 Census, the NPC was also one of the seven processing offices that captured, edited, and corrected census questionnaires and converted them into machine-readable forms.
