For historians - particularly genealogists - Telephone Directories are a wonderful source of information, as they provide the name and address of people at a particular date.
This set of eight New South Wales Telephone Directories from the 1940s covers the city of Sydney and metropolitan exchanges including: Woolloomooloo, Ashfield, Castle Hill, Hornsby, Avalon Beach, Manly, Parramatta, Liverpool, Sutherland and many more. Directions on how to make local and trunk calls including their costs are listed along with much general but relevant information.
Also included are the Pink Pages which contain a list of all business and professional subscribers, classified under the headings of their 'respective callings'.
High quality scanned images of the whole of each original book. This CD has been bookmarked for easy
