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. The explosion in genealogical resources, however, can no longer be contained in the confines of a book, so this new Fifth Edition is produced as a CD, the only format practicable for a reference tool of this size and scope (over 2600 pages).
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.
