All, The directory is now available at http://www.osmaustralia.org/gregorysmaps.php Thanks to Matt White (Gaffa) for the hosting!
It's a great resource for naming streets traced from Yahoo. When doing so, please tag your work as source = Gregory's 1949 (or more commonly, source:name = Gregory's 1949). This is of great help if someone else does a survey and comes up with a different name to the street directory. Happy mapping! ~Cameron 2008/12/31 Cameron <[email protected]> > All, > > I have recently been into the SA state library and found an out of > copyright SA street directory (from the 40s.)
