The sections of Slater’s National Commercial Directory of Ireland (1881) pertaining to Cork city and its suburbs are available for viewing here. Select an option from the panel on the left to view the Index to Public Institutions and the Index to Trades and Professions for Cork city, and the Index to Cork County for county towns and villages. Alternatively, browse through the pages of the Cork city section of the directory by selecting from the following options on the panel to the left: Pages 48-118; the Introduction; General Directory (which includes nobility, gentry, and clergy); Trade and Professional Directory; or Public Institutions Directory. If you wish to browse through the entries on the towns and villages of Cork, select Cork County. The pages will open in PDF format and are text searchable.

Please note that there is no Nobility, Gentry and Clergy directory as with previous editions of Slater’s – this category has been subsumed into the general (A-Z) directory.
