Hello All, The Allen County Public Library of Fort Wayne, Indiana has given the "Internet Archive"(Wayback Machine) directories to place online. Currently they have San Francisco City Directories 1908, 1915, 1920 & 1921 online. They seem to be placing new directories online every few days. They also have other directories, ie., Los Angeles & Richmond, CA and other states online also. http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=california%20directory Have fun!

That is great, thank you! I knew about the Wayback Machine, but had no idea they did that sort of thing in addition to archiving the Web. How did you find out?

Wow, and so large too, Thank you Nancy.....I am downloading each of the SF City Directories and the one Richmond directory. Any idea of SF directories for 1916-1919, or 1924-1930? Just recently I found my great grandfather in the CA Voter's Regs. 1912, however no way I ever knew he was in CA at all. A complete shock for he was always in NY...so I hope to find him in the SF directories between 1912-1916.
