Description from site;
"The University of Leicester's New Opportunities Fund project is creating a
digital library of eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth century local and trade
directories from England and Wales.
Directories of counties and towns are among the most important sources for local and
genealogical studies. They include lists of names, addresses and occupations of the
inhabitants of the counties and towns they describe, and successive editions reflect the
changes in the localities over a period of time.
High quality digital reproductions of a large selection of these comparatively rare books,
previously only found in libraries and record offices, will be freely available online to
anyone with an Internet connection. This online collection will bring together a greater
number and range of directories than any one repository could provide.
There is also a powerful search engine available so that names, occupations, addresses and
other key words or phrases can be located to their exact places on pages within the
text."
