Now, we'll fill in the Repository Reference section. The media type is "Film" and the Call number is obtained from the web site: "RG31, Microfilm reel T-6506".
 
===Add source notes (optional)===
 
You may want to record notes about the source or the source reference. Keep in mind that notes entered in the notes tab for the shared source information will apply to the whole census. You could use this to record background information about the census as a whole. For example, [http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1901/index-e.html Introduction - Census of Canada, 1901] contains some background information as does [http://www.ancestry.ca Ancestry.ca]. (If you intend to cite information from those sources, be sure to follow their guidelines for using their copyrighted material.)
 
You may also wish to record notes pertaining to the particular source reference. Perhaps you have some some interesting facts about the pollster, or the weather that day was remarkable in some way, or you want to record something about the street as it was in that era. You could use the source reference notes for that.
