FamilySearch announces that you can now search the 1940 census index
for 18 states free at FamilySearch.org and 1940
Census Community Project partners Archives.com, FindMyPast.com and 1940census.archives.gov (although
I can’t find a name search at 1940census.archives.gov, which is the National Archives’
census website).

That brings the total of searchable states/districts across all 1940 census sites
to 22 (see below for links to the other sites).

FamilySearch’s 18 indexed states are:

• Alaska
• Arizona
• Colorado
• Delaware
• Florida
• Hawaii
• Idaho
• Kansas
• Louisiana
• Mississippi
• Montana
• Nevada
• New Hampshire
• Oregon
• Utah
• Vermont
• Virginia
• Wyoming

Ancestry.com has
free searchable indexes for

Delaware, Maine, Nevada, New York and Washington, DC; and MyHeritage has
Rhode Island and part of New York.
