The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) is the oldest and largest genealogical society in the United States, founded in 1845.〔 ==Overview== A charitable, nonprofit educational institution, NEHGS is located at 99–101 Newbury Street, in Boston, Massachusetts, in an eight-story archive and research center. Today it has over 25,000 members worldwide and a 50-person staff. Its mission is to "''collect, preserve, and interpret materials to document and make accessible the histories of families in America.''" In 2010, NEHGS announced a broader identity and relaunched its quarterly magazine as ''American Ancestors: New England, New York, and Beyond'' to better reflect its national scope and leadership position among genealogical nonprofit organizations. NEHGS maintains a large web site with more than 100 million names in its databases, the largest such online collection of any genealogical society. It includes vital records, compiled genealogies, and a suite of scholarly journals, such as ''The New England Historical and Genealogical Register'' and ''The American Genealogist'', the leading independent journal in American genealogy. In addition to ''American Ancestors'' (formerly New England Ancestors), NEHGS publishes other periodicals: ''The Register'', the flagship journal of American genealogy, American Ancestors Journal, an annual supplement to ''The Register'', and ''The Great Migration Newsletter'', a quarterly publication of the Great Migration Study Project. NEHGS' library catalog is available online and lists more than 200,000 genealogical books and other resources. The R. Stanton Avery Special Collections features over twenty million manuscript items, with an emphasis on the period of the 17th century to the present, covering New England and other regions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New England Historic Genealogical Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
