From the introduction to the finding aid:

This is a finding aid for telephone directories from the countries of Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It consists of over 60 entries representing the Library of Congress’ uncataloged holdings of Soviet and post-Soviet era titles as of January 2007. It is arranged by country, then by city, and then by the year prominently displayed on the cover of the piece. Directories that cover the entire country appear first in the list. The type of directory is indicated by the words “residential”, “organizational”, or “both” for directories that include both business and private numbers. All of the directories are in Russian, but several Uzbek directories have parallel Uzbek/Russian titles. The geographic names used in this list for all five countries reflect recent changes away from the former Soviet and/or Russian names.
