Address directories are good resources for many types of research:
All of the directories listed below from the Library of Congress collections include both business and private addresses.
We provide finding aids for the two volumes of the address directory from 1923, because each one of its chapters starts with page number 1. We compiled a table of contents with the digital image numbers for both volumes.
As street names have been changed over time, researchers might find it useful to consult one of the older street guides for Bucharest (ghidul străzilor) available in the Library of Congress, or historic maps of the towns that they are researching.
The following collection titles link to fuller bibliographic information in the Library of Congress Online Catalog. If you would like us to retrieve directories for you before you visit our library, you can contact us through our Ask a Librarian service.
