Delving in a Directory

For this week's post we delved into the Magazines and Newsletters  category on Trove. 

The Newcastle city and country almanac & directory : with farm and garden calendar for 1889 contains much valuable information for researchers about early residents in settlements and towns in what is now the Lake Macquarie Local Government area.

The index page of this directory gives an indication of the breadth of information it contains. 

In this post we are highlighting just a few descriptions of local towns and villages but, as this work is digitised and available on Trove, it can be searched to find other local information.
