The South Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, Inc. is a non-profit organization of genealogists. As genealogists, we study our ancestry and family history, and are also interested in preserving our family heritage for future generations.

Our primary geographical area of interest and coverage is York and Adams County,  Pennsylvania.

Our Aims and Purposes

Our aim is to encourage and promote an interest in genealogy. We do this by:

	Collecting and preserving materials related to genealogy.
	Encouraging the compiling and publishing of family genealogies and histories.
	Publishing materials of interest and benefit to members, as demand and finances allow.
	Holding meetings for the education of our members and the public.
	Offering financial and volunteer support to the library of York County Heritage Trust (formerly The York County Historical Society).

Since we are an all-volunteer organization, only simple member research requests accompanied by a business size SASE are considered.

A Surname File of interest is maintained for members.

Newsletters

The society’s monthly newsletter is called OUR NAME’S THE GAME and is mailed to all members. Included in this publication are listings of future programs and events, queries from members (at no charge), notice of publications by other organizations and individuals that may be of interest, and occasional short articles dealing with genealogical research.

Special Publications

Members also receive, as published, Special Publications, which vary in length, and contain genealogical resource material. Most of the information is previously unpublished primary source material.

A list of available publications and their prices is sent to each member as well as can be found on this website.

PLEASE NOTE: The S.C.P.G.S. is an all-volunteer and non-profit organization; we are a separate society from York County Heritage Trust, therefore your membership in the S.C.P.G.S. will not obtain you free access to the York County Heritage Trust Library.
