Information
Antedating telephone directories were in use for centuries.[1] Many older directories have been digitized and are available on the open web and through subscription databases.[2]
Examples include Kelly's Directory, R.L. Polk & Company, the Boston Directory, and the New York City Directory. Henderson's Directories were available for several cities in Canada.[citation needed]
