The New England Historic Genealogical Society, also known as NEHGS, is the oldest and largest genealogical society in the United States, founded in 1845. Today it has over 20,000 members worldwide.

The Society's headquarters and library are located in Boston, Massachusetts at 101 Newbury Street. The Society's library catalog, which is available online, lists more than 200,000 genealogy books and other resources. The R. Stanton Avery Special Collections feature over two million manuscript items ranging from the seventeenth century to the present, covering New England and other regions.

The Society maintains a very large web site with more than 100 million names in its databases, the largest such online genealogy database of any genealogy society. The Society publishes the New England Ancestors magazine and a journal, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register. Published quarterly since 1847, The Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest journal in the field. The Society also produces a weekly e-newsletter which is available online or by e-mail.
