# Dr. Ph.J. Idenburg tells something about the 1947 census

Dr. Ph.J. Idenburg, director of the Central Bureau of Statistics, tells, from behind his desk in The Hague, to the viewers how important the 1947 census is and asks them to cooperate as well as possible. In his speech are also edited shots that characterize the situation of the Netherlands in 1947 regarding housing: there are Dutch people in the former war zones eg. who are still poorly housed in shacks, stables, bunkers and houses declared uninhabitable. Also shots of construction workers at work (bricklayer, carpenter, plasterer).

Not offered: its uploader or archive marks it public domain, and nothing the site holds bears that out (its record gives no year, or a year from 1978 on, which no US term has left), so where it is free is not known. Unclear is not offered.
