It is a PDF file of scanned images of the pages from the original directory. Primarily text directories of private and commercial locations, which are rich in information of the period. Also include a few photos/illustrations, of less than ideal quality.Contents include: Ø Residential Directory – approximately 6,500 individuals (see sample entries below) Ø Business Directory – approximately 1,800 listed businesses, by category (see sample entries below) Ø Advertising – approximately 20 pages of ads scattered throughout the directory. Ø City map (2 pages, included in the original directory) Ø City map – 1864 (Because the map included in the directory is small, street names hard to read. For easier reference, I have included on the CD a high resolution City map from 1864). Ø City map – 1869 Another high resolution City map, which also shows location, shape and size of buildings. Very informative.

Directories provide an unmatched source for finding the exact place a person lived and their occupation, and they often function as a surrogate source of information about residents for a particular time period.
