Thousands of societies,
archives, and other organizations throughout the United States offer
invaluable resources for family historians and other researchers. The
problem is often knowing what organizations exist and where to find
them. The Ancestry Family Historian’s Address Book is a directory
of contact information for such organizations—including some that are
not listed in any other directory. The listings in this revised edition
have been updated from Alabama to Wyoming and everywhere in-between.
The Ancestry Family Historian’s Address Book
lists:
• genealogical and historical societies
• libraries, museums, and archives
• federal, state, regional, and local agencies whose collections include
materials useful for genealogical and historical research
For ease of use, the listings are grouped in the
following categories:
• General Sources (including libraries, museums, and other organizations
whose collections are national in scope)
• Ethnic and Ecclesiastical Resources
• Military and Federal Government Agencies
• The National Archives and Records Administration and Its Regional
System
• Helpful Websites (though these do not have physical addresses, they
are included because they represent a burgeoning resource for
researchers)
• State-by-state coverage
For each organization, the listing includes:
• street address
• mailing address
• telephone number
• fax number, e-mail, and Internet address where applicable
Listing thousands of important sources of
genealogical and historical information, The Ancestry Family
Historian’s Address Book will open new doors and save you hours of
