>I have a 1923 "city directory" page for the district of Lwow which contains >the town of Tarnobrzeg. Does anyone know what they are called in Polish. >They contain places of importance, government officals, different kinds of >shops and who works their. I would like to obtain different years. Does >anyone know which libraries have them? years? Different directories may have different titles, so the best way to search for them is by subject. You can search by specific city, i.e. "Lublin - directories" or by country, i.e. "Poland - directories". Library cataloging rules state that the current political jurisdiction and spelling must be used; often there are cross-references to other spellings, but these may not be searchable. So, for example, for Lwow, search "Lviv - directories" Some libraries may consider these directories to be monographs, so the year will appear in the title for each. Other libraries (such as the one I work in) considers them serials. If you find that a library has what you are looking for, but has cataloged it as a serial, you will need to go into that library's catalog to see if the holdings are given. If they aren't, try to contact someone at the library to find out for you. Hope this helps. Gordon McDaniel mcdaniel@hoover.stanford.edu
