The Special Projects Committee of the Kalamazoo Valley Genealogical Society focuses on preservation of Kalamazoo County records.  Volunteers are invited to participate in projects to ensure records will continue to be available to genealogical researchers.

Persons interested in volunteering for a records preservation project are encouraged to contact our Special Project Chair, Mary Hodges.  Parking assistance is available, and volunteers will be recognized for their contributions.

Many valuable records in Kalamazoo County are waiting to be preserved and shared.  Our community has a fine working relationship within each entity of government and all repositories.  We have the advantage of technological devices to allow us to make these records available.  These projects in turn will be directed to websites, publications, newsletters and/or CDs.  The KVGS board will determine the end result of the product, based on the recommendations of the Special Projects Committee, with input from volunteers who create and complete projects.  You are encouraged to invest volunteer time and energy in the Kalamazoo Valley Genealogical Society Special Projects!   Contact Mary to express your interest.

There are currently several projects that the Special Projects committee are working on.  These records will be available in 2010.
