NEHGS produces some of the most important publications in genealogy, including a highly respected quarterly journal, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register; a yearly supplement, American Ancestors Journal, the popular magazine American Ancestors; and a wide variety of books.
In addition, we publish research from ongoing projects such as the Great Migration Study Project, a study of New England immigrants, 1620 - 1640. Our long tradition of publishing dates from 1847, when the Register first appeared. Today it is regarded as the flagship journal of American genealogy.
