We have no paid staff. If you are a member of HCGS and would like to become more active in our chapter, and do more for fellow members and others researching their ancestry, consider volunteering for one of our roles.

See the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library (CHPL) website for announcements and service changes due to COVID-19.
