Administrative history
The Alberta Genealogical Society (AGS) was founded in 1973 as a non-profit organization to encourage and promote the study of family history in Alberta. The AGS aids genealogical research in the province through direct consultation with researchers, newsletters and occasional publications, providing information including listings of cemeteries in Alberta, and serving as a lobby group for genealogical interests on issues important to the community. The Calgary Branch of the AGS was formed in 1974 but disbanded in 1980. Most of the former members of the AGS Calgary branch opted to leave the AGS to form a Calgary branch of the Alberta Family Histories Society.
