Kentucky Genealogical Society
Do you have 5 hours to spare?
 
’TIS THE SEASON for giving, and KGS is eager to award grants to support the digitization of Kentucky historical/genealogical records. The grant applications are in, but we need four volunteers to review and evaluate them. The volunteers must be KGS members – two who live in Kentucky and two who elsewhere. All application reviews will be done online – no travel or meetings involved, just five hours or so of your time. In the process, you'll make some grant winners very happy.
 
Please help us award the first KGS Digitization grants so more records will be accessible online to all. To express interest in volunteering, send email to grant@kygs.org no later than Monday, November 18.
