Reverse Directories in the Library of Congress: A list of holdings from the 19th & 20th Centuries

The Library of Congress holds substantial collections of historical reverse crisscross and street address directories, some dating back to the late 19th century. Unlike telephone directories, these directories are arranged by telephone and/or street address, and, as such, may be of use both to genealogists as well as to business researchers doing historical research.

This guide contains two lists – one of volumes in the United States Criss Cross Directories Collection held by the Library of Congress, as compiled as part of a special inventory project in 1997, the other of the holdings of the United States Street Address Directories Collection, as inventoried in September 2002.
