have launched an online collection of British phone books dating from 1880 to
1984.
Members of Ancestry.co.uk can search the British phone books using name, year
and county and the two companies said the service would be a useful addition to
traditional genealogy sources.
The first records to be launched online are the phone books for Greater
London, which reveal insights into the social history of the past 100 years.
"Since their introduction in 1880, phone books have provided a unique
snapshot of communities in Britain in a regular and familiar format, making them
an ideal source for family and social historians," said David Hay, head of
heritage at BT Archives.
The British phone books from 1880 to 1984 contain in excess of 250 million
names. BT maintains its collection of phone books as public records stretching
up to the company's privatisation in 1984.
