DIRECTORIES 

The Suffolk Cooperative Library System has City Directories for Brooklyn and Manhattan 
available to libraries in Suffolk County in microfiche and microfilm. 

City directories are used for a wide range of research. 

They provide listings of 
names, 
occupations, 
street addresses, 
churches, 
schools, 
associations, 
businesses, and local government and community leaders. 

With this data, genealogists can create and expand their family trees or discover more clues 
about a family-owned business by consulting facsimiles of the original advertisements. 

They can also locate addresses, which can be helpful in finding census reels. 

Microfilm and fiche are available through your Suffolk County 
public library via interlibrary loan. 

The listing for all directories in all formats follows.
