Buffalo City Directories - In case it isn't obvious, the little elves at BuffaloResearch.com do not own any Buffalo city directories. Instead, we watch for when other people digitize them. Then we collect the links here for your convenience.
- These are only only free online Buffalo and Erie County city directories that we have found. Let us know if you discover others.
- Our other page on
city directories shows you what directories are still offline, when
directories
were first published for the towns and villages of Erie County, and who
owns them in hard copy.
