VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Hamilton Genealogical Society is operated entirely by volunteers. We have many opportunities available anywhere from active involvement to just a few times per year. Volunteering for HCGS will allow you to meet and network with others who share your “passion” for genealogy.

Want to volunteer but you don't live in the Cincinnati area ? Or you cannot make it to our meetings or project sites ? We usually have active projects going that involve transcribing, data entry or proof reading you can do at your own home.

If you would like to be a Hamilton County Genealogical Society volunteer, please review the list of opportunities below, download our Volunteer Interest Form, and return it to the address on the form. For more information, please contact us at 513-956-7078 or send an e-mail by clicking on Contact HCGS button. Our Project Coordinator will contact you shortly.
