Special Interest Groups

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) provide members with opportunities to connect, learn, and collaborate around specific research interests or tools. Each group meets regularly and focuses on practical research strategies, skill development, and shared problem-solving.

Participation in SIGs is a benefit of Iowa Genealogical Society membership. Non-members may attend one complimentary session.
