Good question Thomas. After checking "Evidence Explained" (I have the 2007 edition, not the current 3rd edition) looks as though I need to make a few changes to my own data. I've been added each directory individually even when the address stays the same. However, the information below suggests a date span (from ... to...) for a single entry date when the address and city remain the same.
------------------ 12.56 Directories: Citing Multiple Years When you need to cite a long run of directories by the same publisher, your handling of the citation will depend upon whether or not the title and publisher remain the same through the span of years. If only the years and page numbers differ, you can create a generic citation. Source List Entry Polk, R. L., compiler. Colorado Springs, Colorado, City Directory. Colorado Springs: R. L. Polk Directory Co., 1924, 1927, 1929, 1931. For directories that have the same compiler and publisher across a span of years, with slight variation in titles, you might use this approach: Source List Entry Jones, John Q., compiler. Badlands City Directory, with Listings for Adjacent Wetlands, Marshlands, and Arid City [varying subtitles]. Badlands: Jones Press, 1924-27. ---------------------------------- How this applies to the SourceWriter approach would depend I suppose upon using the reference (12.56) and check the resulting source - citation.

In addition I didn't see the question in regards to same city but different years if one needed a different source for each year ? If not, how to go about it. Thanks!
