UPDTATED: 1940 Census at the Archives

If you live near a National Archives and Records Administration office, they will have digital copies available, though not indexed.  You can find out about it here.  My cousin also told me that you can find the enumeration district numbers here.  Happy Hunting!

Someone from the National Archives kindly left me a comment with updated information and it contains good news:

At 1940census.archives.gov on April 2nd, 2012 at 9 am (eastern time) all the census images will be available online. You do not have to go to a branch of the National Archives to view these population schedules.

You will need a location initially though. Use our Unified Tool at:

to find the right district.
