New York City, New York Historical DirectoriesIncludes directories for Bronx County, Kings County (Brooklyn), New York County (Manhattan), Queens County, and Richmond County (Staten Island) In order to view directories at Historic Map Works, you must
register (for free). This will give you 10 free credits allowing you to
view 10 directories on the site. After you have used your 10 credits,
you may either purchase more in increments of $10.00 each (each credit
is worth 10 cents), or by purchasing a monthly subscription of $29.95
or a yearly one of $249.95. More info on rates is available here, and a list of available directories is here. Links to directories at New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) are to the images themselves, which are browsable. Non-subscribers will not be able to view these. Non-subscribers can, however, use the search engine and see a listing of possible results (but no images or further details). To search by keyword, go to the Digital Archive & Library search engine on this page (it is the second search box).
