The Genealogist's Address Book has been a highly acclaimed national "Yellow Pages" for the genealogist since it was first published in 1991. As the field of genealogy has grown over the years, so has the size of the Address Book. The Fourth Edition, published in 1998, encompassed more than 800 pages. Because the new Fifth Edition includes even more resources, we are now offering it as a CD, as well as a trade paperback.

Organized by subject and fully searchable, this CD puts you in touch with all the key sources of genealogical information, giving names, addresses, phone numbers, FAX numbers, e-mail addresses, websites, contact persons, business hours, and other pertinent information for more than 16,500 libraries, archives, genealogical societies, historical societies, government agencies, vital records offices, professional bodies, religious organizations and archives, surname registries, research centers, special interest groups, periodicals, newspaper columns, publishers, booksellers, services, databases, and much, much more.

Based on a written survey of thousands of organizations and institutions across the country, and supplemented by information from printed and Internet sources, the new Fifth Edition of the Address Book has been extensively updated and expanded. With thousands of additional entries, URLs, and e-mail addresses, the Address Book is now more useful to the researcher than ever. New to this edition is a greatly expanded Religious Archives section, which includes many smaller denominations and notes in the cross-references that trace the "genealogy" of the often quite complex schisms. This edition also includes many more historical societies and organizations, making it an indispensable research tool for historians as well as genealogists.

The only publication containing a comprehensive list of current genealogical and historical resources, the Address Book will streamline your research and point you towards places you didn't even know existed. No more wading through zillions of Internet sites to locate genealogy information! The Genealogist's Address Book CD is all you need to keep a world of resources at your fingertips.
