Benefits of NZSG Membership
Being a member, you get to be part of a community of amazing people with access to a wealth of information that members have put together for over 50 years. You can contribute to that information, either by writing articles about your own research, or helping with projects such as indexing school records in your area of interest. You'll get direct help with your own research from other members or by joining one of our online or in person courses. Or you can help other members with their challenges. It's all about sharing your passion and knowledge with people who get it, and as a bonus, making new friends!
