Missouri Local Historical and Genealogical Societies Directory

There are many historical and genealogical societies throughout the state that work to document the history of a particular town or region. Often the resources held by local and regional institutions are not available anywhere else making these institutions a valuable source for research. This directory provides researchers the opportunity to locate or search the online resources of these institutions.

The State Historical Society of Missouri invites historical and genealogical societies to submit and/or update contact information for SHSMO’s online directory. Please use this online form or email contact@shsmo.org to submit or update your organization's information.
