Barb,

The 'easy' answer is --- most are not.
Many are on microfilm. Maybe available thru LDS or interlibrary loan.
Some, depending on location, are just in book form.

See Cyndi's List
http://www.cyndislist.com/citydir.htm
for more info, including links to some that are on line.

Hope this helps,
Maureen
