Catalogues with the names of those who were used for the actual management of that census, unfortunately only the Greek ones, have been preserved in the Historical Archive of Macedonia, Thessaloniki. Those catalogues, issued by the Greek Metropolitan of Thessaloniki and various other institutions in the town, like the Greek Gymnasium, banks, clubs and guilds, give a rather detailed description of the Greek community in Thessaloniki, before the arrival of emmigrants from south Greece, and refugees from Asia Minor changed drastically the composition of the population in the town.
The article includes those catalogues as well as several other details concerning the way the census was held, found in contemporary newspapers.
