Member Since: March 2004 Posts: 0 Send Message	Can anyone tell me if Kelly's Directory was published every year? I've just been searching a couple on Historical Directories but they don't have the years I'm interested in. Thanks, Jennie

	I don't know, but most of them seem to have been annual. The Historical Directories site is restricted by the avaiability of books to record. ArchiveCDBooks has some historical directories as well - but not for free. On the other hand, you would know your money is going towards preservation of such books and records. Christine
