Nebraska Historical & Genealogical Societies

For almost every state there is a state genealogical society, a state genealogical council, or both. In addition to their own work, state-level groups sometimes help coordinate the efforts of local societies within the state. Their publications, newsletters and quarterlies, supplement those produced by the local societies.

There are currently over forty-six genealogical societies and 150 historical societies operating in Nebraska. The Nebraska GenWeb Project website is an excellent resource for links to archives, libraries, and societies statewide <www.rootsweb.com/~negenweb>. The “Nebraska Libraries Catalog” page on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln website provides access to academic libraries, public libraries, and other libraries throughout the state <www.unl.edu/libr/othrcats/othrneb.html>.
