Abstract

Since the 20-the century, the intensity of statistical work in the region has been substantially increased, which is explained by the need for representative statistical material of a sectoral nature in the context of its large-scale use, primarily for solving administrative problems and making managerial decisions. The article discusses the technological mechanisms in the organization and conduct of census activities in Tomsk province based on the materials of agricultural land and the All-Russian city census of 1917. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the instructional and methodological support of the district instructor and district registrars. The mechanism of hierarchical accountability regarding the presentation of the generated statistical material is considered. Peculiarities and specifics of instructional support for meters in the countryside, the city, and in the railway exclusion zone are revealed.
