Directories contain alphabetical listings of the inhabitants of a locality with their addresses and occupations. The Prince Edward Island directories, which began to appear in 1864, may be directories for the entire province or for the city of Charlottetown alone. Some include business directories grouped by type of business and/or by place. City directories also often include a listing by street address. Until the turn of the century these volumes appear to have been published about once a decade although sometimes by more than one company such as Lovell's, Teare's, McAlpine's and Frederick's. Later they appeared approximately every five years until city directories began to be published every year. Coverage, particularly of the rural areas, is very uneven and should never be considered comprehensive.

Yearbooks are a compendium of statistical and other information about P.E.I. history, government, finances, military units and personnel, education, agriculture, fisheries, public health, justice, public works, postal facilities, clergy, and societies. Names of officials and prominent persons in all these areas are listed.
