It is known as the "City Directories of the > United States" project, found at http://www.uscitydirectories.com. > > The goal of this project is to identify all known city directories (whether > they're in book form, have been microfilmed, or have been transcribed and > published online), their years, and their repositories. For example, the > 1852/53 directory of San Francisco is available at the Family History > Library, Brigham Young University, and online at > <http://www.rootsweb.com/~casanfra/52menu.htm>. > > Currently, the database has the holdings of the following major > repositories: > > 1) National Archives > 2) Library of Congress > 3) Family History Library > 4) Brigham Young University > 5) Alabama Department of History > > Our goal is to eventually list the city directory holdings of all > repositories in the United States. Possibly, your local library has a > directory that exists nowhere else, or its whereabouts is unknown to other > researchers. We'd like to add it to the database. To help you submit > information, we've provided an extraction form on the web site, just click > on the Submit Information link from any page. > > In addition to a database of directories, we've provided education on how to > use directories, as well as an extensive list of resources regarding > directories. > > We'd like your help in getting the word out. If you'd like, we suggest: > > 1) Add a link on your site to New Jersey's city directories. Use > http://www.uscitydirectories.com/nj.htm as a direct link. > 2) Send a message to your project's mailing list describing the project. > 3) Participate! If you know of a register of directories, please let us > know. If you'd like to create a register of directories, or employ the > services of your volunteers, let us know, and we'll provide the direction > you may need. > 4) Give us feedback on how to make this nation-wide project a success. > > I appreciate your time and consideration. City directories, for me, were an > unknown source for too long. Now my research is never complete if I haven't > consulted them. I truly believe this project will be a valuable resource > for our genealogy community.
