Local History
White Plains City Directories
Various Publishers. Some volumes include reverse directories and some cover surrounding communities(see below). White Plains City Directories were not published after 1967. Because City Directories ceased to be published, the Library keeps old telephone books in the Reference Collection (3rd tier Reference Stacks - ask Reference Desk staff for assistance).
