The 1911 Extracts will be printed in black and white in the same manner as previous census years. These enumeration books are larger than those for the 1841-1901 census years because the entries cover two pages and therefore size A3 paper will be used. The extract will be delivered in size A4 envelopes so will need to be folded rather than rolled.
