Encyclopedia of Associations Available to Purchase

The Encyclopedia of Associations is a directory of national nonprofit organizations in the United States, offering detailed information about associations in a wide variety of fields. Begun largely as a directory of business related organizations, the Encyclopedia of Associations (EA) expanded coverage to include 17 distinct areas such as public affairs organizations, hobby and avocational organizations, and athletic and sports organizations. The EA has also increased the amount of information given with each entry. In addition to the standard identification data given in the first edition, information now covers such points as conventions, publications, and affiliated organizations. Throughout its various editions readers have been encouraged to submit corrections, comments, and suggestions to the publisher so that EA could continue to be an accurate tool in a usable format.
