AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on locating the literacy census for New York in 1871. A suggestion is made to visit a university library and consult a librarian for assistance with this specific request. Additionally, a participant shares findings from the University of Hawaii, revealing that approximately 60,000 individuals, or about one-third of the voting population in New York at that time, were illiterate, which serves as a valuable fact for their research paper.

I would goto the closest university library and ask a librarian for help. This is a pretty specific request.
 
Thanks,

I checked it at UH (University of Hawaii) and it turns out that around 60,000 about 1/3 of the voting population was illiterate. Another fact to support my paper. :smile:
