EDR has been doing work on city directories for years now. I used to (kind of) work for them, but as it's been a while, I don't know what cities they are up to now. This is their web address: http://www.edrnet.com Unfortunately, their info isn't free, but they may have some kind student-ish rate through libraries. I don't know... I think some libraries may have subscriptions to their Sanborn maps (they own the Sanborn Map company) for their students to use. Not being a librarian, I could be wrong! best, ---sue h At 09:18 AM 7/14/05, you wrote: >================================================ >MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L >================================================ >TO Maps-L >FR Angie >DA 14 July, 2005 >RE MAPS-L: Louisville Street address from 1920's > > >I have a patron doing genealogy who is looking for an address in >Louisville.
