Alexandria, VA 22310-4025 The following file contains a listing of genealogical and historical societies in Alaska and Hawaii. Included in the listing, where known, are telephone numbers and yearly dues. This listing is donated to the public domain and may be freely copied. Under no conditions can this listing be sold or used in any other commercial fashion. If you think this list has any value, then donate that value in helping your local genealogical society (or the National Genealogical Society). If you write to any of the societies on this list for information, remember to include a self addressed stamped envelop (SASE). Many of these societies work with a limited budget, supplemented by volunteers, and can not afford to respond unless a SASE is included in your letter. ******************************************************************** ALASKA Anchorage Genealogical Society 7805 Linda Lane Anchorage, AK 99518 Dues: Genealogical Society of Southeastern Alaska P.O.
