Library Recovery
 |
| Wet books were temporarily stored on tables in the library. |
Thanks to our volunteers the damage in the SGS Library due to the November water leak was minimized. The damaged books that could not be salvaged will be replaced and the others were dried and cleaned. The books are being returned to their correct places on the shelves. We are very thankful that most of the damage was reversible.
Meanwhile, over the holiday break our volunteers installed newly donated workstations and chairs. The computer stations have more room and there are more work areas available. We are also scheduling new lighting for the computer area. Come by the library and take a look, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
As a volunteer-led, donation-driven organization we appreciate all that our members do for the Society.

New on our Website - A Surname Registry
Have you ever wanted to collaborate with other SGS members? Have you wondered if another member has a similar research area?
Our new website has a great feature: SGS Member Surname Registry. The registry is viewable by both members and non-members, but only SGS members may add to the list by going to their profile and looking under Surnames. Just click on the "plus" icon to create a surname record.
The Registry is listed under Research and Databases, SGS Member Surname Registry. Here you will find the growing list of surnames added by our members. You can view more details for any entry by selecting the "eye" icon, or you can message the member by selecting the email "envelope" icon. Follow the instructions to write a message on the secure website system. (We cannot guarantee that you will receive a response.)
SGS Members - When a researcher finds a matching name in the registry, they may send an email to you through the secure website system. They will not have access to your name and contact information unless you reply. 8/23-10/31
