This database is a collection of three directories for Birmingham, Alabama originally published between 1888 and 1890. It is a listing of Birmingham residents in those years. In addition to providing the resident's name, it provides addresses and occupational information. It includes the names of over 29,000 people, mostly heads of households. For the genealogy researcher of ancestors from central Alabama this can be an extremely valuable collection.

City directories are primarily useful for locating people in a particular place and time. They can tell you generally where an ancestor lived and give an exact location for census years. They are also useful to the genealogy researcher for linkage with sources other than census records.
