For City Directories and many other useful publications for genealogy and
history:
Heritage Quest has a great library of hundreds, maybe thousands, of books
online. Many libraries have subscribed to it, including the Maryland
Public
Library System. I believe you can access it at any Maryland Public
Library,
or access it at home with a valid library card from any Maryland Public
Library. For Marylanders, the web site is:

If you don't live in Maryland, a long list of other libraries that
subscribe
was provided to another list by Kitty Crowley on August 12. I've copied
her
list at the end of this message. If your library isn't listed, you should
contact them to see if they have subscribed. Or ask them to do so.
The Heritage Quest Library includes a number of books on Baltimore written
in the 1800's and early 1900's. I have found the Baltimore City
Directories
for 1899, 1912, and 1913 there. I believe they are the only Baltimore City
Directories they have.
