I love Boston, but if NEHGS keeps adding online material my visits might get fewer and farther between. Just this week, the New England Historic Genealogical Society announced the launch of “Genealogical Journals Online: A National Collection.”
The Journal web page brings together access to several of the country’s premier publications in one easy-to-navigate place. At present the site includes searchable online databases for
- The American Genealogist
- The Connecticut Nutmegger
- New England Ancestors Magazine
- New Netherland Connections
- The New England Historical and Genealogical Register
- The Virginia Genealogist
Membership in NEHGS is a great value if you live in New England or can conduct research there in person frequently. But if you have New England ancestors and live in another part of the country, it’s an exceptional value for the quality and quantity of available online resources. The only drawback is that membership doesn’t include clam chowder or a lobster roll.
