<br /> EDR's City Directory Abstract includes a search and abstract of available city directory data
<br /> City Directories
<br /> City directories have been published for cities and towns across the U S since the 1700s Ongrnally a list of residents,the
<br /> city directory developed into a sophisticated tool for locating individuals and businesses in a particular urban or suburban
<br /> area Twentieth century directories are generally divided into three sections a business index,a list of resident names and
<br /> addresses,and a street index With each address,the directory lists the name of the resident or,if a business is operated
<br /> from this address,the name and type of business (if unclear from the name) While city directory coverage is
<br /> comprehensive for mayor cities,it may be spotty for rural areas and small towns ASTM E 1527-00 specifies that a
<br /> "review of city directories(standard historical sources)at less than approximately five year intervals is not required by
<br /> this practice "(ASTM E 1527-00, Section 7 3 2 1,page 12)
