[Genealib] Iron Gate Publishing's Directory

[treviawbeverly at comcast.net]

Not the same as the one I have for a lot less  - and of course cannot make a fair comparison.  

Directory of Historical Organizations in the United States and Canada.  American Association for State and Local History. AltaMira Press.  www.altamirapress.com 

Excellent.  Mine is the 15th ed. (2001) - I get a new one about every 8-10 years. Some gen societies are listed but I can always find them on the Internet ... not as easy for museums, historical organizations, special archives, libraries with genealogy sections, etc.  1357 pgs.
