History of Grey House Publishing Canada

In November 2006, Grey House Publishing announced its purchase of the Micromedia Directories product line of ProQuest. Micromedia Directories is the largest and most authoritative publisher of Canadian information, in both print and electronic formats. The transaction included the online Canadian Info Desk, as well as six directory databases, in both print and electronic formats; these include Canadian Almanac & Directory, Associations Canada, Canadian Environmental Directory, Directory of Libraries in Canada, Financial Services Canada and Canadian Government Directory.

The flagship directory, Canadian Almanac & Directory, published since 1847, remains the major resource for authoritative information that Canadian libraries, government offices and businesses have come to rely on for statistics, demographics and organizations. Stemming from this powerful database, Associations Canada, Directory of Libraries in Canada, Canadian Government Directory, Canadian Environmental Directory and Financial Services Canada provide immediate access to need-to-know information on these important government or industry segments.

Grey House Publishing has formed a new company, Grey House Publishing Canada, Inc., to maintain this important publishing effort with both sales and editorial offices in Toronto.

Richard Gottlieb, President of Grey House, stated that "we are looking forward to continuing to provide the currency and depth of information that the Canadian market expects from these resources. In addition to updating and enhancing the current directories at the core of the powerful online Canada Information Resource Center, we are planning on extending the product line with brand new directories and reference sources."

Grey House Publishing produces and publishes information products in the business, health, statistical, and demographic fields. It publishes leading information products covering the Mail Order, Food & Beverage, Venture Capital, and Security industries, as well as several databases in the Health and Education fields. Its most recent product acquisitions and licenses include New York State Directory, Biometric Information Directory, and Rauch Industrial Guides. All Grey House publications are available in print and most are also available via subscription online databases, e-books and customized, downloadable databases.

Grey House Publishing is based in Millerton, NY, with offices in Albany and Poughkeepsie, NY.
