==History==
The books were first published in 1898 by Harvey Mark Thomas as ''Hardware and Kindred Trades. ''In their heyday, '''''Thomas Register of American Manufacturers ''''' was a 34-volume, 3 section buying guide offering sourcing information on industrial products and services, along with comprehensive specifications and detailed product information from thousands of manufacturers. The Thomas Regional Directory Company began as a division of Thomas Publishing in 1976. Thomas Regional Regional Industrial Buying Guides provided information in print and on CD-ROM, on local OEMs, distributors, MRO services and other custom manufacturing services in 19 regional editions covering much of the United States. Thomas Register and Thomas Regional were available online
Thomas has moved its database [[online]] as [http://www.ThomasNet.com ThomasNet], published and maintained by Thomas Industrial Network, one of Thomas’ five business units. ThomasNet has expanded to provide not only product and company information,but also [[Online catalog]]s, [[computer-aided design]] ([[CAD]]) drawings, [[news]], [[press releases]] and [[blogs]].
