This directory covers the areas of Melbourne proper, East and North Melbourne, Collingwood, Richmond and the business portions of Emerald Hill, Sandridge and Williamstown. It is divided into three sections. The first contains a street guide and directory indicating shop names, owners and where they're located. There is also an alphabetical directory sorted by surname giving occupation and address. Thirdly, there is a professions and trades directory, also giving names and addresses.
The directory also contains an advertisement section containing information on advertisements from companies throughout the state at this time.
The whole 250 page directory, including most text in the ads, is searchable, useful not only for finding names, but also places, occupations and other information for family and local historians.
Originally produced by Archive CD Books Australia in 2005, this title has now been remastered and re-released, and includes better searching capability. This CD contains high quality scanned images of the whole of the original book, and has been bookmarked for easy navigation. Pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
