Presumably the contract for the official Victorian Post Office directory passed from Bailliere (q.v.) to Wise in the 1880s. As before, inhabitants of the colony are listed by town or suburb and by surname, though a random check identified surnames not listed also by locality. (That is, the list by name appears to be more comprehensive than the list by town, where the emphasis is upon residents engaged in commerce, the professions or public life.) Seven editions are available: 1884-5, 1888-9, 1891-2, 1893-4, 1895-6, 1897-8, 1899-1900. Many minor indexes are also included, such as legal, medical, trade, and local government directories.

As may be surmised, the changes that take place during the year are so few in comparison to the number Of names comprised in the 680 post tow'ns Of the colony, that an entirely new edition of the Directory every year would be uncalled for, and.

The directories aimed to show the names, occupations and addresses of the "settled inhabitants" of Victoria, conceding that an "extensive portion" of the population is excluded, such as "the peripatetic miner, labourer, and station hand". Six editions are available: 1868, 1869, 1870, 1871-2, 1875 and 1880-1. The directories are set out in two parts - the first arranged by town or suburb, the second a union list by surname. The first edition (1868) claims to list 100 000 people living in 550 post towns: " ... invaluable to all parties interested in the Colony; to the Merchant; to the Traveller, whether for business or pleasure; to those in search of missing friends, and to the public generally."
