Have you ever wondered if a directory is available on microfilm for a specific time and area of BC?
The “British Columbia Directories on Microfilm, 1860-2001 : User’s Guide to the Collection” by Norman Amor has been digitized and is now downloadable as a PDF.

Microfilming of some 1200 titles BC directories has been an ongoing project at UBC Library since 1994. In 2001 they completed filming practically all the provincial and local directories published from 1860 through 2001.
A large number of the volumes filmed in these projects were borrowed for the purpose from the B.C. Archives in Victoria; in addition to the collection at UBC Library, and from the Vancouver Public Library's Special Collections Division, and the Greater Victoria Public Library.
