Meetings


General Meetings


The Society’s general meetings are held monthly (except for April and December) at the St. Louis County Library Headquarters. Most meetings throughout the year are held on the second Tuesday of the month from 7:00–9:00 p.m. During the winter months of January, February, and March, however, we hold our meetings on the second Saturday morning from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 noon. This is to accommodate our members who do not wish to drive at night during the winter.

All Society meetings are free and open to the public. The first thirty minutes of each meeting are devoted to announcements of upcoming society events, classes, website additions, and anything else that is new and of interest to genealogists. This is also the time for the Special Collections librarians to discuss books, databases, and coming events in their department. Audience members can then ask questions and share anecdotes of genealogical interest. An hour-long presentation by our featured speaker follows. Please check our calendar for the complete schedule of meeting times and topics.

Special Interest Groups


The Society hosts six Special Interest Groups, each of which meets independently. All Special Interest Group meetings are held at the St. Louis County Library and are free and open to the public. Check each Special Interest Group page on this Web site for meeting times and topics.

Board Meetings


The Board of Directors meets at the Society office each month at 1:00 p.m. on the fourth Thursday. Any Society member in good standing may attend the Society’s Board meetings. Members may not participate in the meetings, however, unless previous arrangements have been made (e.g., for a presentation or specific discussion) or unless invited to do so by the Board.
