October 1941 Telephone Directory

I finally finished scanning Bonnie's October 1941 directory and added it to the Directories page in the Downtown Hobart blog.

1940-41 Hobart City Directory

Bonnie has kindly allowed me to borrow two more directories from her private collection to scan for the Downtown Hobart blog. I have just added the first, a 1940-41 directory (for Hobart only), to the Directories page. The other will follow as soon as I can get it scanned and uploaded.

1930 Telephone Directory

Thanks to Bonnie, who lent me her very own original, I can now bring you a scan of a 1930 telephone directory for Hobart, Valparaiso and other nearby towns.

I'm delighted to have this — it's the oldest Hobart directory I've seen so far. And now I know the phone number for Chester's Camp!

1947 Telephone Directory

So I finally got through scanning that 1947 phone directory I bought on Ebay and uploaded it, for your reading enjoyment. It includes Valparaiso, Chesterton, East Gary, Hobart, Kouts, Ogden Dunes and Wheeler.

I shall have to add a permanent "Directories" page to the Downtown Hobart 1979 blog one of these days. And then I shall have to get my hands on more directories to scan so the title won't be a lie.
