LINKS TO DIRECTORIES OF LONDON AVAILABLE FREE ON THE INTERNET TOGETHER WITH SOME STREET LISTS AND TOPOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL WORKS. 

Compiled by John Copeland                                                                              Edition 2.8.2018

 

The aim of this list is to provide links to all relevant directories available free on the internet together with links to lists of streets and topographical and historical works that have been found while searching.

 

Experience of using Internet links shows that these can easily disappear. Most of those listed however are from organisations who are unlikely to cease to exist, although there is always a risk of a change in storage arrangements resulting in the substitution of links or a change of policy regarding provision of documents.

 

The description of the items mainly follows that given by the provider and has not been automatically checked, although some errors have been spotted and corrected.

 

The form in which documents can be viewed varies, with some providers only providing one option and others a choice. Where a text option is supplied, this is usually produced by optical character recognition (OCR) and the quality of the copy produced can be very poor.

 

If a website has a search facility this usually utilises OCR, so a negative result does not necessarily mean that the term searched does not appear in the item.

 

It is assumed that the works are out of copyright or the providers have obtained any necessary licence, although no guarantee is given and any comments by the provider may well be subject to copyright. Some providers purport to grant a licence regarding use of the original documents but, if the document is out of copyright, this may well be irrelevant.

 

How easily a document is read may depend on the browser used. For instance, in July 2017 the Bodleian Library’s pdf’s were most easily read using Chrome rather than Firefox or Edge.

 

The documents linked to can all be accessed from the United Kingdom. There may be other items available on the internet which only can be accessed from the United States and these are not listed. Google Books and the Hathi Trust have policies that in view of the risk of copyright infringement, they initially refuse access to users outside the United States to items published after a certain date (1877 for Hathi Trust in 2017) although they may be convinced to the contrary.

 

Scans of the same copy of a book sometimes can be found on different sites with overlap for instance between the Bodleian Library, Google Books, Hathi Trust and the Internet Archive.

 

Duplicate copies are not specifically looked for, but, if found, links to scans of the same book on different websites and additional copies in Google Books are provided, as faults in one scan may not appear in another and, even where the scans are of the same copy, different formats may be available.

 

Comments on some particular sites

Bodleian Library.  Items are available as pdf’s of whole documents which can be slow to download and with which certain browsers can have problems. http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do

 

Historical Directories.  “A collection of digitised trade directories, part of the University of Leicester's Special Collections Online, covering England and Wales from the 1760s to the 1910s.” The widest selection available. Items are available as pdf’s of single pages or as text created by using OCR with resulting defects. It is possible to go directly to any page in the item. http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/cdm/landingpage/collection/p16445coll4

 

Google Books.  One can view the whole book online and download pdf’s. Availability of items may vary according to the location of the user. For some items for which complete copies are not available, a small number of snippets may be disclosed and may provide some desired information.

 

Hathi Trust.  “Hathi Trust is a partnership of academic & research institutions, offering a collection of millions of titles digitized from libraries around the world.” The whole of an available item can be viewed online and pdfs of individual pages and in some cases complete documents can be downloaded with wider rights available through “partner institutions”. Availability of items may vary according to the location of the user. https://www.hathitrust.org/digital_library

 

Internet Archive. “Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.” Books can be viewed and downloaded as pdf’s and other formats. https://archive.org/index.php

 

Paid for Sites

Links to Provincial Directories of Places in England Available Free on the Internet together with some Town Guides and Topographical and Historical Works Compiled by John Copeland  (Edition 4.8.2018)

The aim of this list is to provide links to all relevant directories available free on the Internet together with links to guides to places and some local topographical and historical works that have been found while searching.

Experience of using Internet links shows that these can easily disappear. Most of those listed however are from organisations who are unlikely to cease to exist, although there is always a risk of a change in storage arrangements resulting in the substitution of links or a change of policy regarding provision of documents.

The description of the items mainly follows that given by the provider and has not been automatically checked, although some errors have been spotted and corrected.

The form in which documents can be viewed varies, with some providers only providing one option and others a choice. Where a text option is supplied, this is usually produced by optical character recognition (OCR) and the quality of the copy produced can be very poor.

If a website has a search facility this usually utilises OCR, so a negative result does not necessarily mean that the term searched does not appear in the item.

It is assumed that the works are out of copyright or the providers have obtained any necessary licence, although no guarantee is given and any comments by the provider may well be subject to copyright. Some providers purport to grant a licence regarding use of the original documents but, if the document is out of copyright, this may well be irrelevant.

How easily a document is read may depend on the browser used. For instance, in July 2017 the Bodleian Library’s pdf’s were most easily read using Chrome rather than Firefox or Edge.

The documents linked to can all be accessed from the United Kingdom. There may be other items available on the internet which only can be accessed from the United States and these are not listed. Google Books and the Hathi Trust have policies that in view of the risk of copyright infringement, they initially refuse access to users outside the United States to items published after a certain date (1877 for Hathi Trust in 2017) akthigygh they may be convinced to the contrary. 

Scans of the same copy of a book sometimes can be found on different sites with overlap for instance between the Bodleian Library, Google Books, Hathi Trust and the Internet Archive.

Duplicate copies are not specifically looked for, but, if found, links to scans of the same book on different websites and additional copies in Google Books are provided, as faults in one scan may not appear in another and, even where the scans are of the same copy, different formats may be available.

The directories are listed in accordance with the traditional counties but with Bristol listed separately and the same directory may appear under different counties.

Comments on some particular sites:

Bodleian Library.  Items are available as PDFs of whole documents which can be slow to download and with which certain browsers can have problems. http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do

Historical Directories.  “A collection of digitised trade directories, part of the University of Leicester's Special Collections Online, covering England and Wales from the 1760s to the 1910s.” The widest selection available. Items are available as pdf’s of single pages or as text created by using OCR with resulting defects. It is possible to go directly to any page in the item. http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/cdm/landingpage/collection/p16445coll4

Google Books.  One can view the whole book online and download pdf’s. Availability of items may vary according to the location of the user. For some items for which complete copies are not available, a small number of snippets may be disclosed and may provide some desired information.

Hathi Trust.  “Hathi Trust is a partnership of academic & research institutions, offering a collection of millions of titles digitized from libraries around the world.” The whole of an available item can be viewed online and pdfs of individual pages and in some cases complete documents can be downloaded with wider rights available through “partner institutions”. Availability of items may vary according to the location of the user. https://www.hathitrust.org/digital_library

Internet Archive. “Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.” Books can be viewed and downloaded as pdf’s and other formats. https://archive.org/index.php

National Library of Scotland. Amongst its excellent collection of Scottish directories available online there are a few which include places in England. Items viewable page by page and there are OCR transcriptions for at least some of them. Jpg’s of individual pages and pdf’s of whole books can be downloaded http://digital.nls.uk/directories/

Norfolk Sources. “Norfolk Sources is a collection of images of archive material supplied by the Norfolk Record Office and the Norfolk Heritage Centre.” “including wills from 1800-1857, Broadsides and trade directories” Access is via using the search facility using a suitable term. Subject to OCR limitations this will bring up all occurrences of the search term in all directories with such. Individual pages can then be selected and viewed and copied as jpg’s. It does not appear that a particular directory can be accessed direct so if an alternative means of access is available this is likely to be preferable. http://www.norfolksources.norfolk.gov.uk/DserveNS/
