About Membership

Join GRIVA Today!

While most of our programs are free to attend, your membership helps us offer these programs. GRIVA also supports the genealogical community through two established funds: the Historic Preservation Fund supports efforts to conserve historically significant documents and the Andrew Hogwood Memorial Fund supports activities in the study of family history.

GRIVA membership benefits include:

  • Virtual programs on a wide variety of topics are held six times a year.
  • Virtual Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for DNA and German research, in addition to virtual “chat” sessions to learn from each other.
  • A daylong conference is generally held each fall.
  • Special programs and workshops related to topics of interest.
  • Discounted fees for any fee-based conferences or workshops.
  • Most programs are recorded and can be viewed on GRIVA’s YouTube channel.
  • News and Notes, GRIVA’s newsletter of topical interests.

GRIVA has three membership types, all available for 1 or 2 years.
