Telephone Directory Collection

The Library has been given a near-complete collection (29 vols.) of local telephone books. Some of these directories include all of Long Island; later directories are limited to Port Washington. In some cases, very fragile pages have been photocopied, and original items have been put into storage. In addition, directories from 1924 - 1948 have been microfilmed on 10 reels. Copies of local books have been saved yearly since 1957.
