The 1848-49 Boston City Directory was the last
to discriminate between blacks and whites. There is a separate
list entitled "People of Color". This proved to be
useful for the purposes of our research, and provided a foundation
from which to build our database. This information was later
integrated with data from the United States Census of 1850.
More information about this database, along with access, is
available on this website.
The original page images from the 1848-49 directory
are available for viewing by clicking on the thumbnails below.
This information was transcribed
into a table by Uri Lafontant and is provided below. It
was also integrated with our database, which is searchable.
