Bethlehem, PA Polk City Directory : Including Hellertown.
L-1-REF 917.482 B562pb (latest edition in Linderman Library;
next to latest in FM-1-REF)
Directory information, including locational lookups (if you have the
address, you can look up the person). Includes some occupational data,
etc. for selected entries; also has address entries for some unlisted customers.
Other Polk city directories, older editions, are also available in L-1-REF
in that area.
Caution: like the new 'outsourced' long distance information services, online phone directories get their data from the phone book databases they buy. Often, these are out of date, and many times older entries are not removed. (However, if you can't remember your previous address, they are a great place to look!) Some services allow the consumer to update their own phone records.

or newsgroups that are archived on the web.
