Abstract

The Register collects some 5,000 names and 50,000 addresses for craftspeople working in trades related to printing and publishing in New York City during the period 1821-1842. The Introduction, the only element offered here, discusses in detail the methodology used to compile the Register and details the joys and difficulties of working with early city directories as primary sources.
