This directory gives a unique view of life as it was back in late 19th Century Queensland - an invaluable resource for local, family and social historians as well as for researchers in other fields of Australian history.
This enormous directory is unique in its coverage - in that it contains not just a post office directory, listing residents together with their address (street-by-street), but also the following directories:
- country alphabetical directory
- trades
- stations
- post and telegraph
- telephone
- ports and harbours
- railway
- ecclesiastical
- masonic
- medical
- justices of the peace
- tariffs and licences
- legal
- government official
- societies and institutions
- architects
- and divisional board
- and hundreds of advertisements
This directory contains hundreds of thousands of people, many with occupations and addresses. The telephone directory contains those who had a telephone and were connected to the Brisbane Exchange, together with address and phone number - one of the very earliest phone directories available!
