Please download and read, “The Jackson County Genealogy Library: Over a Half-Century of Helping People Find Their Roots,” by Cara Davis-Jacobson and Anne Billeter of the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society, here: https://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/vol24/iss1/8/

 

>From Cara and Anne’s article, “In September of 2016, RVGS celebrated its semicentennial—50 expansive years of preserving the past so that others might benefit from the accumulated knowledge of so many who paved the way to create the society and library as they are today. RVGS and JCGL are gems that, these days, serve not only Southern Oregon but also researchers from all over the world. In fact, JCGL now houses the largest genealogical collection between Portland, Oregon, and Sacramento, California!”

 

Genealogy is a subject that many library patrons ask about.  It is wonderful to have an organization to refer people to when they have exhausted the resources of their local public library.  RVGS and JCGL offer expertise to members and the public through classes, tutorials, seminars, historical materials and individual assistance.  Please read on to learn more about this Southern Oregon institution that is supported by 829 members and 89 volunteers!

 

Thank you,
