New South Wales Post Office Directory

[1] The directory was published every two years until 1900, when it became an annual publication.

[2] The directory was originally published by Wise, Caffin & Co.[3] The directories provided information by locality, individual surname, government service, and by trade or profession.

Early publications included a street directory for Sydney and its suburbs, and this later expanded to include Newcastle and West Maitland.

Advertisements for local business were also present throughout the directories.

[3] The directories have been digitised in Trove[4][5] by The National Library of Australia.
