AGS News & Events

The Alberta Genealogical Society’s News & Events highlights what’s happening within the Society’s provincial association, our Branches, upcoming conferences and workshops, research trips and more. News moves through many different types of media, and we are beginning to coordinate with our print source the AGS quarterly Relatively Speaking. We invite you to peruse our other listings such as Celebrating Alberta promoting important provincial and community activities and events, New Online Sources gives an update to the newest genealogical resources online, and Educational Opportunities which announces national and international conferences, workshops and educational avenues for family historians.

MHDGS operates their own genealogical library that is open to the public and we have special interest programs. Naturally COVID-19 has caused interruptions to our programing but we have been able to offer some programing online via Zoom. AGT/TELUS Telephone Digitizing project is our biggest project, digitizing ten decades of phone books. This project is free to view online at https://mhdgs.ca and receives approximately 1000 hits a month by viewers provincial and worldwide. With this raffle, we hope to raise money to supplement our revenue and bring this project to a close, while making one Albertan a lucky winner. We appreciate you sharing this.
