1887 Harrisburg City Directory
Submitted by Vincent Edward Summers
There is no page 62, which was blank, and the last page has no
number. There was a Harrisburg City map attached inside the back of
the book. The scans of the pages were made by an HP scanner set at 300
dpi, creating bitmaps, which were resized to 45% of scanning size,
thus
reducing them to somewhat over 3 megabytes, then brightening them by
20 percent, and increasing contrast by 8 percent. Images were then
converted to gray scale, and rotated to the correct orientation.
Lastly, they were converted to GIF files. They are numbered to
include the two pages in their descriptions. These pages are numbered
according to the actual numbering of the directory.

The volume of the 1887 Harrisburg Business Directory used was borrowed
from the University of Virginia Alderman Public Library in February of
the year 2002, and is believed by me to no longer be subject to
