The Colorado Genealogical Society plans a celebration in observance of its 100th year of incorporation, honoring the achievements and milestones of the innumerable number of volunteers who have been the bedrock for the success and endurance of the society.
Since 1924, CGS has guided the movement of genealogy from the family safe-guarding of pencil-drawn charts and stored-in-the-bureau paper lineages to a discipline of study, compilation, and preservation.
Across the decades, with its rewarding alliance with the Denver Public Library, CGS has sustained its mission and furthered its primary goals of education, collaboration, and promotion of family history. CGS has played host to decades of classes, seminars, workshops, and relationships, informing and educating the public on the high standards of research, critical analysis of information, and crucial preservation of records, both private and public.
In May, the society will gather, remember, and laud its many officers and volunteers, who, over the years, have generously given their time and support to the society.
We invite non-members, members, past and present, retired, and active, from far and near, to join us and remember the CGS genealogists who have influenced our efforts and remain memorable in our family history journeys.
