I've seen the directories below mentioned on this website: https://mappingbirmingham.blogspot.com/p/artisans.html
I can't seem to find scans/pdfs for them online. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can access them? I live overseas so viewing them at a library is not possible for me.

1800: Chapman's Birmingham Directory.
1801: Chapman's Birmingham Directory.
1803: Chapman's Birmingham Directory.
1808: James Bisset, Magnificent Directory, 2nd edn with additions.
1808: Triennial Directory of Birmingham (Thomson & Wrightson).

1812: Triennial Directory of Birmingham (Thomson & Wrightson).
1815: Wrightson's Triennial Directory of Birmingham.

Some other types of free directories can be found here either in full or partial (not the ones listed):
