Trade Directories

Could anyone please tell me if there are any trade directories for Edinburgh and Aberdeen online?

I need the period from about 1880 to about 1920.

Many thanks

JoS

Hi JoS

any trade directories for Edinburgh and Aberdeen online?

Not that I am aware of, but someone else may know of a source.

The Scottish Genealogy Society have many in their librbary and some they sell on CD. The Edinburgh Room would also have a full set for Edinburgh.

Best wishes

The Aberdeen ones aren't online, but the Central Library have a full set.

Thanks for that - unfortunately I'm in London that's why I was hoping they might be online.

Oh well...

You can ask the library staff to look through some of them for you! It is a shame they're not online. It would be so handy!
