The UBC Library needs your help! They are digitizing British Columbia directories in order to make them available publicly online, and are looking for 2 indexes. Can you help find them? Read the request from Doug Brigham below:
"I'm reaching out to the local history community to try and locate copies of two indexes for British Columbia directories:
- The Researcher's Guide to British Columbia Nineteenth Century Directories: A Bibliography and Index (Lutz & Young, 1988)
- The Researcher's Guide to British Columbia Directories, 1901-1940: A Bibliography and Index (Young & Lutz, 1992)
I would like to digitize the indexes as part of a project I'm working on: a map-based platform for locating BC towns and directories. The indexes are held fairly widely in libraries, but I'm having trouble locating copies that I can use for digitization.

If you have copies of either of these indexes that you are willing to sell or donate to the project - or if you know someone who might be - I would appreciate hearing from you!
And if you'd just like to connect to talk about BC directories, I'd love that too."
