Provincial and city
directories have been published for
the Maritimes on an irregular basis since about 1864. Most
of these published directories cover the entire province,
and they generally list only the male head of the family,
but occasionally widows were included. These older provincial directories are available on microfilm at NSARM,
and the newer directories are "hardcopy" versions. Some
directories recorded the persons occupation, while older directories
were sold by "subscription," and were not always
complete, often families were missed. Municipal directories for
smaller towns can be found through local archives and
museums.
