Sands Directory

The Sands Directory was first published in 1858 and continued until 1931-32. It provided a listing of people in Sydney: alphabetically, by trade, and by street. This image shows the front page of the street directory section for the 1880 edition. Today, it is an invaluable source for historians when reconstructing the social complexities of Sydney’s streets.
