Hello, /r/AskHistorians!

Your wonderful mods have given me the go ahead to ask, so I'm here today hoping you can collectively point me in the right direction. I'm currently working on a project that requires me to have at least a slightly greater knowledge about the individual history of each State in the US. Now obviously I've found some great resources on government and historical society websites, and while I am working through them I was looking for a more...personal touch? I guess?

Basically I was hoping I could find a professional historian for each state that I could ask just a small handful of subjective and objective questions about their state's history. Unfortunately that's not as simple as googling "[Insert State] State Historian", apparently. So, I'm looking for recommendations! If you know of someone who has a wealth of knowledge about a particular state (not necessarily in a specific topic, but broad knowledge about the culture and history) I would LOVE to reach out to them. At this point any help, regardless of how big or small, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time, everyone!
