<br />City Directories
<br />City directories have been published for cities and towns across the U.S..since the 1700s. Originally a list of residents, the
<br />city directory developed into a sophisticated tool for locating individuals and businesses in a particular urban or suburban
<br />area. Twentieth century directories are generally divided into three sections: a business index, a list of resident names and
<br />addresses, and a street index. With each address, the directory lists the name of the resident or, if a business is operated
<br />from this address, the name and type of business (if unclear from the name). While city directory coverage is
<br />comprehensive for major cities, it may be spotty for rural areas and small towns. ASTM E 1527-00 specifies that a
<br />"review oftity 4rectones (standard historical sources) at less than approximatelyfive year intervals is not required by
<br />this practice. " (ASTME 1527-00, Section 7.3.2. 1, page 12)
<br />NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) Codes
<br />NAICS is a unique, all-new system for classifying business establishments. Adopted in 1997 to replace the
<br />prior Standard Industry Classification (SIC) system, it is the system used by the statistical
<br />agencies of the United States. It is the first economic classification system to be constructed based on a
<br />single economic concept. To learn more about the background, the development and difference between
<br />NAICS and SIC, visit the following Census website: http://www.census.gov/cpcd/www/naicsdev.htm.
