Alexander Bell invented the phone in
1876
His invention created a need for Phone Books,
soon called
"White Pages" and "Yellow Pages".
Paper Whitepages were produced by many different Telecom companies
often
linked to a long and fascinating Post, Telegraph and Telephone History.
First printed on white paper they are now online.
1994 Whitepages.com.au from Australia were the very first ones to get on the web
followed
1996 by
Whitepages.co.nz from New Zealand.
2004 Whitepages.fr from France were path setters
for Whitepages in over 50 countries.
Alexander Bell loved young people.
He invited them to
Beinn Bhreagh / Canada
and helped them to make new inventions.
Bell had a special connection with Brazil.
1922 he told Aimee Sotto Maior, a beautiful young Brazilian girl
"To stay young to need to have young friends"
Aimee followed his advice and this is how -
almost a century later -
Whitepages of many many countries
started to come alive ...
