There is a standard work that gives historical societies by State and
then by city - with listings by county and type in the index -
Directory of Historical Agencies in North America
Nashville, TN; American Assocation for State and Local History.
We have the 13th ed, 1986, but I'm sure there has since been a more
recent edition published.
