Tasmania Post Office Directory 1925 | H. Wise & Co Ltd | 1925 [USED – HC – Antiquarian]

A Post Office Directory for Tasmania published by H. Wise & Co Ltd in 1925 — one of the annual commercial directories that listed residents, businesses, tradespeople and government offices across the state, organised both alphabetically by surname and geographically by town and district.

Post Office Directories are a useful primary source for family and local historians — they document who was living where at a specific moment in time, what their occupation was, and what businesses were operating in each town. The 1925 edition captures Tasmania at a specific point between the wars — after the dislocations of WWI and before the Depression — when many communities were at or near their peak population before rural depopulation set in.

At 441 pages, this covers all of Tasmania's towns and districts across both the alphabetical and geographic sections.
