1949 Victorian Municipal Directory & Gazetteer Antique Australian Reference Book

Victorian Municipal Directory & Gazetteer - Water Supply Districts & Waterworks Trusts Record With The Commonwealth Guide For 1949
Published by Arnall & Jackson Printers & Stationers: Melbourne 1949 80th Edition
Complete With Original Cloth Bindings & No Loose Pages

" The Victorian Municipal Directory & Gazetteer for 1949 is an important post-war reference volume documenting the administrative, civic and infrastructural landscape of Victoria during a period of rapid reconstruction and development following the Second World War. Issued in its eightieth year of publication by Arnall & Jackson of Melbourne, the directory brought together an extraordinary range of information relating to municipalities, shires, boroughs, water supply districts and Commonwealth services. Designed as a practical working handbook for councils, government departments, engineers and commercial firms, it now serves as a fascinating historical snapshot of Victoria at the close of the 1940s.

Packed with statistical data, municipal records and regional information, the volume includes detailed listings of councillors, civic officers, population figures, infrastructure projects and waterworks administration throughout Victoria. The inclusion of the Commonwealth Guide and Water Supply Record reflects the growing importance of coordinated public utilities and regional planning during the post-war era. Today these directories are highly valued by historians, genealogists and local history researchers for the wealth of primary source information they preserve about towns, communities and government administration across the state.

This 1949 edition remains complete in its original green cloth bindings with no loose pages, retaining the sturdy utilitarian character typical of mid-century Australian government and institutional publications. Volumes of the Victorian Municipal Directory were heavily used in offices and council chambers, making well-preserved copies increasingly difficult to locate today. Rich in period detail and historical data, the work stands as both an important research resource and a desirable collectible piece of Victorian municipal and Australian social history."
