New: Address/Telephone Directories from Switzerland and Liechtenstein at the Library of Congress
The Library of Congress maintains a large collection of retrospective foreign and domestic telephone directories, most of which are not cataloged. (More specialized directories for commerce, industry, and specific professions are cataloged and may be identified in the Library's online catalog.) The uncataloged directories listed below reflect the Library's holdings (as of July 2007) of telephone directories from Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Since 1919, Switzerland has provided diplomatic representation for Liechtenstein, and in 1920, the two countries agreed to a transitional postal union. A more permanent postal union came about in 1921, which provided for Liechtenstein's postal, telegraph, telephone, and postal savings bank services to be managed by Switzerland. Thus, Swiss telephone directories include separate listings for the Principality of Liechtenstein, usually in the same volume that covers the nearby Swiss cantons of Appenzell Inner Rhodes, Appenzell Outer Rhodes, and St. Gallen.
