Family Tree Magazine has a helpful article about the April 1st release of the 1950 census data. There are forms available to capture data and details about the kind of information that will be available.
Ancestry has been gracioius to allow our members to access their data base remotely during the COVID lockdown. They are ending that service to HQRL on December 31, 2021. HQRL members will still be able to visit the library to get access to Ancestry, My Heritage, Family Search and our other data bases..
Remote access to MyHeritage will continue.

HQRL transactions on hold
EasyNetSites is moving our data files on Tuesday, August 10 to a new server as part of their infrastructure upgrade. The site will still be available for members but no one should do, e.g. renewals after midnight 8/9 to midnight 8/11. Any transactions would not be picked up by them if it happens in that window of time.
