About our society:
The Southern Indiana Genealogical Society was formed May 3,1979, to encourage, gather and preserve genealogy materials and information in the seven southern Indiana counties of Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Scott, Perry, and Washington.
Our general meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at the NewAlbany-Floyd County Public Library in New Albany, Indiana. Membership meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. After a short business meeting, a qualified speaker presents a program of a genealogical or historical nature.
Our collection of genealogical materials is housed in the Indiana History Room of the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library. We are a non-profit organization, operated by volunteers. A listing of "For Hire" researchers is available upon request from the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, 180 W. Spring Street, New Albany, IN.
Our membership year is July 1 through June 30 and is $15.00 per year; a quarterly publication is published in January, April, July and October. Membership entitles a member to submit three free queries of fifty words or less to the editor for publication in the quarterly. A fee of $2.00 is charged to non-members for submitted queries. Membership also entitles the member to a discount on publications sold by the society.
All holdings of the Southern Indiana Genealogy Society are housed in theIndiana History Room of the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, 180 West Spring Street, NewAlbany, (Floyd County,) Indiana.
