NOTE: I've been informed the Library of Congress asked the Internet Archive to remove access to these files. I don't know why. I'm leaving this page available, but no longer linked to, in the hopes that they might one day become available again. --Lkseitz (talk) 08:07, 9 May 2015 (PDT)
The Internet Archive has online versions of several historic telephone directories. They are available for either online viewing or downloading in various formats.
- Most descriptions are taken from the metadata provided, but some metadata is incorrect. Please feel free to correct the information below if needed.
- The "City" column is general and often includes additional nearby cities/towns. "Birmingham" typically includes most of the cities in the middle of Jefferson County.
- White pages for locations near Birmingham proper often include addresses in Birmingham and/or other nearby places, but Yellow Pages are typically restricted to the area specified. That means you can actually use the "Greater Shelby County" white pages, for which later years are available than Birmingham, to search for personal addresses in and around Birmingham in those years.
- The OCR (text) is far from perfect and the files are large, so if you know what you're looking for, it would probably be faster to flip to it than to search.
- When searching for multi-word phrases on the site, be sure to enclose the phrase(s) in double quotes.
- Yes, it appears there are some duplicates, but note that each is a unique link.
- Publishing phone books requires significant lead time, so just because a business is listed in a phone book published in July doesn't mean it hadn't actually closed the month before, in June (or even earlier).
