1907 Griswold's birdseye view of the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana indexed for ready reference by B. J. Griswold, (Bert Joseph), 1873-1927 at The Library of Congress, is a zoomable map.

Many of the early directories have the name R. S. Robertson written on them indicating they were owned and donated to the library collection by Colonel Robert S. Robertson. Directories before and after 1890 are one way to recreate information for the missing 1890 census.

It is very helpful to look through a few city directories to see how much information they contain. Online digital copies have been OCR'd, (Optical Character Recoginition) meaning we can do keyword searches to quickly find words we may not find by manually reading through each page. Like everything digital, some words will be missed when searching online. There are no surname indexes. While the names are listed alphabetical, some issues have a couple of pages of names that arrived too late to be included alphabetically.

The directories are also a city guide and business mirror. A Table of Contents will list businesses, boundaries of wards (used in early census records), churches, city and county officers, index to advertisements, schools, banks, incorporated institutions, secret and benevolent societies, trades, professions, post offices, public buildings, street directory (for old street names and locations) and more. The Genealogy Center has over 57,000 city directories, 11,000 on microfilm and several hundred on microfiche. They have an online catalog and some may be on PERSI.

IHB is now accepting applications for new state markers! A key part of the application process is finding primary sources to support your topic. One of our favorite though often underused sources when researching historical marker topics is city directories. City directories can inform us where an individual lived or where a business was located in a particular year, can provide information about occupations that individuals had, and can shed light on various institutions that existed in a city, including hospitals, charitable organizations, churches, clubs, libraries, and parks, to name a few! You can search city directories by name through the alphabetical listing, by category in the Miscellaneous Information section, and by street address.

While doing research for the Lt. Col. Joseph H. Ward, M.D. marker in Indianapolis in 2019, we used city directories from 1897 through 1949 to track the location of Ward’s medical practice as it moved from various locations on Indiana Avenue to Boulevard Place. A search of Ward’s name in the alphabetical listing of the 1922 Indianapolis City Directory noted that he was a physician, surgeon, and proprietor of Ward’s Sanitarium, listed the address of the business and noted that it was the same as his home residence, and included the hours the practice was open. The Miscellaneous Information section of the directory also listed Ward’s Sanitarium as one of several Asylums and Hospitals in the city.

The Indiana State Library has a large collection of city directories. You can access information by county here: http://bit.ly/3yJJbA9. Many city directories are also available electronically via Ancestry Library (which can be accessed for free while visiting the State Library) and through the Internet Archive at www.archive.org.
