Auteur :
HARDWICK, S. W.

Description :
In the USA, directories listing places of business, residents and their addresses have been published often yearly since the nineteenth century for many cities. This information provides a way of tracing the historical changes of ethnic neighborhoods, business districts and kinds of commercial enterprises. Sacramento, California is used here as a case study. - (DWG)
