By the late 19th century the Post Office became the major publisher of directories and they are nowadays generally referred to as Post Office directories, whether issued by the Post Office or private publishers. The Post Office usually collected the information for the directories through its letter carriers, who issued forms to be filled in when they delivered the mail.
