Gould Genealogy and History

Post office directories (the predecessors of today's telephone books and street directories) are a valuable source for family historians. Usually published on an annual basis, directories provide a snapshot of the suburb or locality in a particular year, allowing researchers to trace the development of the street and area where their forebears lived.

Wise's directories are known as one of the most comprehensive that there is available.

The Wise's Post Office Directories are divided into three main sections: Towns, Alphabetical and Trades and Professions. These three classifications enable the enquirer to see at a glance the Householders or Traders in any one Town; the Business and Address of any resident in the State; and the Firms engaged in any trade or profession.

This compendium includes:

• New South Wales Post Office Directory 1904
• Queensland Post Office Directory 1903
• South Australia Post Office Directory 1903
• Tasmania Post Office Directory 1904
• Victorian Post Office Directory 1904
• Western Australia Post Office Directory 1905
