About the Arkansas Genealogical Society |

|
Arkansas Genealogical Society was founded in 1962 by a group dedicated to preserving and sharing Arkansas genealogical material. Classes of membership are Individual, Household, and Patron. Membership is by calendar year and may be entered at any time. Gift memberships and memorials are also welcome. Please follow this link to join AGS right now. The official publication of the Arkansas Genealogical Society is The Arkansas Family Historian, issued four times a year - March, June, September, and December. In addition to source material, both primary and secondary, family data is sought from members to be included in the quarterly. The Arkansas Family Historian has a query section for members' use. Visit the AGS Bookstore for a more complete bibliography of publications offered by AGS. |
The Arkansas Genealogical Society contributes to the genealogical collection of books and other material at the Central Arkansas Library System, Main Branch, 100 Rock Street, in Little Rock. AGS also contributes to the resources of the Arkansas History Commission, One Capitol Mall, Little Rock. Additions to both collections are by donations to AGS by those persons publishing their own material (which are reviewed in the Arkansas Family Historian) and by purchase of special resources. The Arkansas Genealogical Society does not have the personnel or facilities to do research on request. We encourage you to contact qualified researchers by using the member directory of the Association of Professional Genealogists. This can be found online at www.apgen.org. AGS members may place queries in the Arkansas Family Historian. |
A fall meeting of the Arkansas Genealogical Society is held each year featuring well known speakers in the field of genealogy. AGS also undertakes special projects on occasion. For more information regarding upcoming and past events take a look at AGS Seminars & Events. AGS issues "Certificates of Arkansas Ancestry" recognizing
descendants of Arkansas residents who were in Arkansas
before 31 December 1900. The four certificate categories
are Colonial, Territorial, Antebellum, and Nineteenth
Century. An application booklet with complete details
is available upon receipt of postage sufficient for
two ounces sent to the following address: Arkansas Genealogical Society |
