Dear Members

San Diego Genealogical Society is an all-volunteer organization. Currently, we have several opportunities available and hope all members will consider them, as they are able.  We currently are in need of:

San Diego City Library Docent SDGS offers an excellent opportunity to help patrons in the genealogical collection of thousands of books and magazines, some formerly from our SDGS collection.  Also, available are back issues of the San Diego Tribune on microfilm and fire maps plotting the building structures of San Diego in 1920 through updates in the 1950's.  The room has computers available for internet and library research. There are Special collections not yet public including donated family genealogical research and texts awaiting release along with an indexed history collection about California that can be accessed with library help.  There are resources for Black, Hispanic and Native American research as well.  Whether a visitor is looking for the latest article about DNA genealogy from NGS magazine or an 1832 marriage index from Muskingum County, Ohio, the Downtown Central Library may be the research place.

The Library is open every day (except holidays) many convenient times for a new docent!

Volunteers are issued passes for free day parking. Volunteers receive non- discrimination and emergency training. There is security is on the premises as the e3 Civic High School is also in the building. Finger printing is required.

Other opportunities are also available, click here.   SDGS is an all-volunteer group, and we invite you to share your talents with us.

Potential volunteers and those wanting more information should contact Pat Francisco, Volunteer Coordinator volunteer@casdgs.org.

Thank you for your support!
