Vicky, We list all the online directories that we know about. If you or anyone else sees one that we don't have listed, let us know! :) The library did mention that the Internet Archives was suppose to scan all the city directories and put them online, but I have no idea what the status of that project is and whether it is still happening. So, to answer your question, yes, the SF Main Library beckons you. Though, I would go to the Newspaper center on the 5th floor. The directories are available on the shelves. If you don't see what you want, they also have them on microfilm and microfiche (for the really early ones).

Please note that the SF Main Library has the original directories (paper) in stacks at the back for the Microfilm reader area (Oakland as well). Easier to do paper than microfilm.
