A compilation of residential and business telephone listings for the Reno, Nevada area, traditionally organized alphabetically by name, with corresponding addresses and phone numbers. These directories served as a primary resource for locating individuals and businesses prior to the widespread adoption of internet search engines and online databases.

Their importance has diminished in recent years due to the prevalence of online search tools and the increasing number of unlisted phone numbers, but they remain a snapshot of a specific time and place.
