  • British Columbia City Directories 1860-1901: These directories contain an abundance of fascinating information about British Columbian communities, including: detailed street and name listings of individuals and businesses in Vancouver and Victoria; population figures; listings of government offices and officials; operating newspapers; schools; libraries; advertisements ; classified directories; specialized industry directories (particularly in the early years); and lists of names and businesses for towns throughout British Columbia. As the directories were updated regularly, they document the growth, development and progress of British Columbia over the years. The information found in these publications can be used to track the history of people's homes, find their ancestors, and research the history of companies and institutions. As well, there are wonderful advertisements and illustrations which provide a fascinating insight into the social norms, fashions and mood prevailing throughout the period.
