The firm of John Sands Ltd (Printers and Stationers) published their directory each year from 1858-59 to 1932-33 (except for 1872, 1874, 1878, and 1881). The household and business information it contains has become a fundamental source for research into Sydney history, especially family history. Until now the directory has usually been accessed through a microfiche edition made by W F Pascoe Ltd which is available at many public libraries. For the first time researchers will now be able to obtain easier & more convenient access to the complete set of Sands Sydney, suburban and country commercial directory online via the City of Sydney Council website through their Archives program. A navigation bar to the left contains the various directory volumes grouped in different sections for easy downloading. A table of contents has been provided which shows the information within each section. This allows users to locate a specific year and section required, for example the Suburban directory for Alexandria in 1901. A keyword search function is also provided covering the contents of the directory (the whole set, or a specified year or years). The year groups cover 1858 to 1869. 1870 to 1879, 1880 to 1889, 1890 to 1899, 1900 to 1909, 1910 to 1919, 1920 to 1924, 1925 to 1929, and finally 1930 to 1933.
