Kingston City Directory From July 1906 To July 1907, Including Directories Of Barriefield, Cataraqu, Garden Island And Portsmouth.

Step back into Edwardian-era Kingston: streets, trades and neighbours in meticulous detail. It opens a vanished city.This historical city directory, covering July 1906 to July 1907, compiles community listings for Kingston and its neighbouring districts - Barriefield and Portsmouth, Cataraqu and Garden Island - into the practical, searchable order of the period. Arranged in the compact style of a vintage address book and early 20th century reference, it gathers street and name entries, commercial and civic notices and other local references that turn names into places. Used alongside census returns, parish registers and other archival sources, directories are especially useful for confirming addresses and occupations when records are sparse or inconsistent. Their advertisements and business headings betray the rhythms of trade and the local economy; small typographic details often point to the size and standing of firms and professionals. For students of Canadian local history and for family researchers the volume serves as an accessible Ontario genealogy resource and a dependable ancestry research tool; researchers and historians will find it a primary-source window into occupations, household arrangements and neighbourhood networks. Libraries, museums and local studies groups commonly consult such directories when reconstructing street histories, and casual readers can savour the period detail and urban colour that survives in entries both mundane and instructive.
