The release of the 1921 census of England and Wales on 6 January will be a seismic event for genealogists. Our in-depth preview of what to expect when the 18 million images go live begins on page 17, and includes an explanation of the digitisation process.

Note that access won’t be free to subscribers (the cost is £2.50 per transcript and £3.50 per image, with a 10 per cent discount for 12-month ‘Pro’ subscribers), but you’ll be able to view digital images for free if you visit The National Archives in Kew.

Elsewhere, expect new material for Norfolk, Scotland and the Catholic Heritage Archive.
