Welcome to the official website of the
Social Register Association.

Founded in 1886, the Social Register is among America's oldest and most distinguished private associations. Its membership is drawn from the country's most prominent families, and many of those currently listed are direct descendants of the original members. Included are many accomplished individuals who have contributed greatly to their communities.

Since its inception, the Social Register has been the only reliable, and the most trusted, arbiter of Society in America. As a service to its members, it offers a publication which lists the Association's membership, as well as contact information, club and college affiliations, and births, debuts, engagements, marriages and deaths as they occur.

A winter edition is published in November of each year. Its accuracy is maintained by a summer issue which provides a record of where those listed can be reached during the season. This edition also includes the “Dilatory Domiciles,” which contains changes to the information in the winter book that have occurred since its publication, as well as a list of yachts and their owners. In addition, a subscription to the Social Register includes the Social Register Observer, a magazine for, about and largely by members, which contains information no longer available elsewhere. This is printed concurrently with and bound into each volume of the Social Register.

Members can subscribe to all the above publications.
