1945 Victorian Municipal Directory & Gazetteer Antique Australian Reference Book

Victorian Municipal Directory & Gazetteer - Water Supply Districts & Waterworks Trusts Record With The Commonwealth Guide For 1945
Published by Arnall & Jackson Printers & Stationers: Melbourne 1945 78th Edition
Complete With Original hardcover Bindings & No Loose Pages

" The Victorian Municipal Directory & Gazetteer for 1945 is a substantial reference work documenting the civic, political and infrastructural landscape of Victoria during the closing months of the Second World War. Published by Melbourne printers Arnall & Jackson in its seventy-eighth year of publication, the directory served as an indispensable handbook for municipal councils, government departments, engineers, businesses and residents throughout the state. Combining municipal records, gazetteer information and Commonwealth reference material, it provides a remarkable snapshot of Victorian administration and daily life in mid-twentieth century Australia.

The volume contains extensive listings for Victorian municipalities, boroughs, shires and water supply districts, together with details of councillors, officers, population statistics, public institutions and local services. Also included are records relating to Waterworks Trusts, infrastructure and regional development, reflecting the importance of water management to both urban and rural Victoria. Directories of this nature were widely relied upon before the digital age and today remain invaluable primary research sources for historians, genealogists, collectors and local history enthusiasts seeking information about towns, communities and government administration during the 1940s.

This 1945 edition, preserved in its original hardcover quarter-bound bindings with no loose pages, is an especially evocative wartime survivor. The publisher's utilitarian yet attractive design, complete with period advertisements and municipal data, captures the atmosphere of post-war civic Australia and offers fascinating insight into how Victorian communities were organised nearly eighty years ago. Increasingly difficult to locate in complete and well-preserved condition, these municipal directories are now highly regarded as important historical reference works and collectible pieces of Australian ephemera and local history."
