Our Society
The San Angelo Genealogical and Historical Society is a nonprofit organization which was organized in 1972. Our mission is to support Concho Valley genealogists in their pursuit of their ancestry by:
- conducting educational activities
- promoting interest in genealogical and historical research
- collecting and preserving documents pertaining to the history of West Texas
- supporting the repository and genealogy library at The West Texas Collection (WTC) at ASU and the genealogy library at the Stephens Central Library in San Angelo through donations of genealogical and historical materials.
Unless otherwise noted in the Events Calendar and Events page, we presently meet virtually, the first Tuesday of each month, September through May, at 7:00 PM., for a presentation on a historical or genealogical topic. Registration links for the meetings are posted on the Home page and the Speaker Series page.
SAGHS hosts virtual and in-person seminars or workshops with topics beneficial to family research, help sessions at the WTC, interesting mini-seminars, plus records abstraction and research forums. Pioneer Certificates encompassing 13 counties are available to those who qualify. We also offer in person several (free) beginners classes at the Stephens Central Library and hold genealogy classes for beginners and intermediate researchers covering specific topics. The monthly SAGHS Newsletter is provided free to anyone interested. The members-only area of this website includes an archive of past newsletters, informational documents and forms, plus webinars of past presentations.
