"Strictly Confidential"

Research Etc. is also the parent company of SpyralSearch - a publisher of investigative tools on CD, geared specifically toward the needs of Adoption Search Specialists, Private Investigators, Genealogists and anyone else looking to identify or place a particular individual at a certain point in time.  Research Etc., Inc. has amassed over 2,000 old city directories and telephone books in the last ten years, and the investigators have used them to help solve many cases.  However, the more directories we acquired, the harder it was to access them, as we had to have them warehoused in remote storage and they were not on hand in our office.  We decided several years ago to start scanning the books we used most onto CD, which was a long and time-consuming process.  But in 2005, we hired an IT Computer Consultant who has upgraded all of our scanning equipment and computer software. and developed a time-effective process of putting our directories into digital format - with the added bonus of having them text-searchable. 

Credit is always given to the original publishers of the books, but the actual digital images on CD are copyrighted by Research Etc., Inc. and protected under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. SpyralSearch archive CD's are only for the purchaser's personal use and not to be copied, distributed, or posted on a web site. 

 

We are still in the process of converting our entire collection of books into CD's, but feel we now have enough to make them available to other searchers.  To see a complete listing of the available directories, please visit the website at www.SpyralSearchSales.com or email SpyralSearch@aol.com for more information.
