Please note that all the links to directories on the Akron-Summit County Public Library website have changed, due to the library reorganizing their site. I will change the links here on this page as I have time. Meanwhile, please access those directories at http://sc.akronlibrary.org/genealogy/city-directories/.
Links to directories at the Akron-Summit County Public Library are to .pdf files, many of which are quite large. These may take several minutes to load even with a fast connection. If you have trouble opening the files, you may want to download them. You can right-click on the link and select "save target" (Internet Explorer) or "save link as" (Mozilla Firefox) to download.
Links to directories at GenealogyToday are to the search engine for that particular directory, which is searchable without a subscription. Non-subscribers can use the search engine and see a listing of possible results (but no images or further details). For more information on how to access subscription websites, read Number 5 on my FAQs page.
Links to directories at New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) are to the images themselves, which are browsable. Non-subscribers will not be able to view these. Non-subscribers can, however, use the search engine and see a listing of possible results (but no images or further details). To search by keyword, go to the Digital Archive & Library search engine on this page (it is the second search box). For more information on how to access subscription websites, read Number 5 on my FAQs page.
