- You could go to a library and look up newspapers on microfilm. Some
- libraries might even have old telephone directories on microfilm, as
- was the case in Wilmington, Delaware (where I located a 1960 directory
- on microfilm and figured from it that the 1965 area code split in
- Florida was 305/904).

- [Moderator's Note: The Chicago Public Library has directories from
- Illinois Bell and Chicago Telephone Company (IBT's 1920's predecessor)
- going back to 1879. They are all on microfilm, as is a complete set of
- the {Chicago Tribune} back to October, 1871. They have a few pre-fire
- copies of the {Tribune) between 1842 and 1871 also. I use the old
- issues of the papers a lot for reference. PAT]
