### About the 1939 Register

The 1939 Register was taken on 29th September, 1939 and records data for 40 million people including names, addresses, marital status and occupations. Commissioned to take stock of the civil population in order to issue Identity Cards and to establish rationing and other war time provisions, in the longer term it would go on to play a central role in the establishment of post-war services, such as the NHS, and more.

With the release of census data limited by legislation, the most recent data currently available publicly is the 1911 census, with the 1921 census coming online around 2022. The 1931 census was destroyed by war and the 1941 census was never taken, making the 1939 Register the most complete survey of the civil population of England and Wales available for a 30-year period. Its publication online is the most significant public release of historical records of the decade.

The Register comprises 1.2 million pages in 7,000 volumes.
