jamboreeThe purpose of the Genealogical Society of Hispanic America (GSHA) is to promote Hispanic genealogical and historical research, and to expand awareness and knowledge of Hispanic culture, historical contributions, and traditions. The Southern California chapter has a large collection of Hispanic genealogical records, maps, Hispanic family histories, and history books. At the GSHA-SC chapter meetings, members can check out selected books for a nominal fee, allowing you to research at home until the book has to be returned. Genealogy resources focus on the areas of Colorado, New Mexico, California, Mexico and other areas in the Southwest. The fees are used to purchase more books to add to the collections.  The GSHA-SC is a large and active group which meets at the SCGS Library four times a year, on the first Saturday of each quarter, from 10-4. Guests are always welcome and invited to join the group.  The group also sponsors Hispanic Tuesdays at the SCGS Library on the second Tuesday of each month.
