National Archives Gift Fund

Members are invited to join with others from societies throughout the nation in support of the National Archives Gift fund. The Council supports this fund and solicits an annual voluntary gift of $1.00 from members.

Monies collected are used to microfilm specific records and produce finding aids for researchers, and for other projects beneficial to genealogical researchers for which no government funds are available. These microforms, finding aids, and other projects will then be available to the general public.
