c1898 Port Hope telephone directory
This directory was sent to us by David Kemlo, who writes:

     "Some time ago, while researching another name, I found on file at this particular library a microfilm on early Bell Telephone books. Just for the fun of it I transcribed those pertaining to Port Hope. The pages for Port Hope (pages 75-76) did not have a date but the record previous to Port Hope and those afterwards would suggest the listing was from 1898 to 1900. There were no numbers mentioned, suggesting you had to ask the operator to make the connection for you. Port Perry Agency was the next listing, starting at the bottom of page 76. I doubt if this book was something given to the local subscribers but perhaps was a phone book for use by operators or perhaps a master listing. Port Perry only had ten listings and then the next Agency was Preston with fourteen. I didn't bother with any additional pages. Feel free to use this information any way you wish."
