The NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
The New England Historic Genealogical Society, founded in 1845,
is widely acknowledged to be the finest source of genealogical
information on New England families. Besides its extensive collection
of records on families, the society's library includes an entire floor
of local histories for all states and Canadian provinces, a complete set
of Massachusetts vital records for 1841 to 1895, the strongest U.S.
center for the study of Canadian families, and more than 15,000
volumes on European families -- the largest private collection of
its type. The society is also considered an excellent resource for
information about British and Irish families.
The society owns more than 200,000 genealogical books, one million
manuscripts, and a genealogical staff widely known for its
expertise. The society also publishes and reprints many books.
The society's headquarters in Boston has six floors of research
facilities. But for those who can't visit Boston easily, the
society offers members a 20,000 volume circulating book loan
collection -- books will be delivered right to your door. The two
circulating book catalogues -- one for genealogies, one for local
histories -- are hundreds of pages long. Each loan costs $8 and you
can keep -- and copy -- up to three books per order for two weeks.
Members receive the society publications, including:
* the quarterly New England Historical and Genealogical Register,
the oldest continously published genealogical journal in the United
States. Each issue contains 96 pages.
* Nexus, a lively genealogical news bulletin, published bimonthly
and containing articles related to genealogical research and New
England families, events calendars, queries, etc.
* Notices of special events, including lectures, seminars, trips.
