Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania Online Historical DirectoriesLinks 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). For more information on how to access subscription websites, read Number 5 on my FAQs page. The Greater Philadelphia GeoHistory Network has both directories in scanned form and an initial search engine that currently (20 July 2010) searches surnames A-N for the 1861 McElroy's Philadelphia directory. Plans are in place to update the search engine to include all surnames from all directories on that site.
