Programs are usually held on the third Saturday at 2:00 pm several times a year in Athens-Clarke County Public Library’s Multipurpose Room A, but variations in this schedule are not uncommon. Special events and activities are usually held in months without programs, and may include local after-hours research events, carpooling to out of town programs, research field trips, expos, holiday celebrations, historical preservation, Shared Interest Groups, etc. Programs, activities, and special events are announced via email, Facebook, Twitter, and on this web site. Although most programs are free and open to the public, membership is encouraged to enable us to bring in quality speakers that will help further our understanding as family history researchers. Dues are also used to purchase resources for local libraries and offset costs to preserve historical data.

Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) provide an informal opportunity for members working in particular areas of research to get together to share ideas, complete projects, problem solve, and focus on resources and techniques available to assist them with their research.
