Directories are an invaluable resource for local, family and social historians as well as for researchers in other fields of Australian history. While they do not give you birth, death and marriage details - core records for genealogists and family historians - they can certainly provide you with information on the region where your ancestors lived, as well as information on their occupation and much more. This large Wise’s directory for 1933 is comprehensive in its coverage. It contains the following directories:

• Brisbane and South Brisbane: post office directories, with information on residents alphabetically by street
