The directory sections for the two counties are preceded by a section describing the History of England. The original book contained folded maps of the two counties. These have suffered some damage but are perfectly legible. The maps are too large to scan in one piece on an A3 scanner so have each been scanned as two overlapping tiles which have subsequently been stitched together. The folding and damage to the maps made it dificult to obtain perfect stitching so each map is presented on the CD as the two scanned tiles and the stitched version. The two Directory sections begin with historical and topographical information for the counties as a whole, followed by detailed entries for towns and villages within the counties. The volume is completed by an Appendix, Index to the Directory Sections and four pages of local advertisements.
Some of the scanned pages appear not to be straight. This is a feature of the original book rather than the scanning process.

When we obtained the directory, the county map had suffered a major tear and significant creasing. The map is also slightly too large to scan in a single piece on an A3 scanner (whilst the majority of the county can be scanned in one, some detail at the edges of the map are cut off). In addition to scanning as much as possible of the map as a whole, therefore, it has also been scanned as overlapping tiles which have subsequently been stitched together (though a little imprefectly because of the creasing). All three scans plus the stitched version of the map have been included on the CD. Other than the map the directory contains: Indexes; Huntingdonshire Facts; Towns and Villages Directory; Private Residents Directory; Trades & Professional Directory; Advertisements.
A number of the scanned pages appear not to be straight. This is a result of the way in which the original book was printed rather than the scanning process.
