Introduction
The City of Windsor directory was published from 1888 to 2014. It was produced by the Union Publishing Company of Ingersol, Ontario from 1888-1911. The Vernon family took over the business in 1912 and published the directory until the early 1940s. More recent editions were published by ACME, and then by Might. Although the directory varies over the decades, it normally contains fairly standard indices. The street by street index allows one to trace the physical layout of the city. The detailed version of the street index began in 1904. The alphabetical index of companies/persons often includes the names of company executives and the occupations of individuals. There is always a classified business index as well as a miscellaneous section with information on municipal governments, courts, police, schools, churches, and societies. The main purpose of the directory is as an advertising and marketing tool. It also serves to promote the community. By studying the directories over the decades, one can trace the growth and development of this region.
The volumes published from 1972 onward are still within copyright and have been put online with the consent of Ontario Ancestors, and Wallace and Elizabeth Cooper, the final Vernon Publishing copyright holders. These volumes are available for personal study and research purposes only.
