Exhibitor Profile-Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies

The Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies was established in 1980 as a non-profit organization to facilitate cooperation among heritage-related organizations in the state of Colorado. In 1998, the Council proudly served as the host for the National Genealogical Society’s Conference in the States.
      
The Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies addresses the needs and interests of the Colorado genealogical community through cooperation and support of member organizations. 
      
The First Families of Colorado Recognition Program was founded by the Council in 1983 and offers certificates to direct descendants of Colorado ancestors who meet the program’s eligibility requirements.
      
The Birdie Monk Holsclaw Memorial Fund, established in 2010, is a tribute to the memory of noted genealogist, Birdie Monk Holsclaw, CG. Distributions from the memorial fund support the Birdie Monk Holsclaw Memorial Lecture at the National Genealogical Society annual conference and the Birdie Monk Holsclaw Memorial Scholarship, awarded to those who have an interest in genealogy and wish to pursue genealogically related education at the Samford University Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR).
