Gordon, Could you check your library for the Town of Tarnobrzeg, to see if you can find records for me. TIA gayle >>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 > >
