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.
