Help Preserve and Share New Jersey Genealogy—Become a Volunteer

The Genealogical Society of New Jersey is the state’s premier organization for New Jersey genealogy and our collections provides genealogists a wide variety of materials, original and compiled, to conduct their family research.

GSNJ offers you the opportunity to share your interests and skills—whether you have just a few hours a month or lots of time to spend with us. To date, volunteer contributions have allowed the Society to accomplish goals and complete projects for the Programming, Long Range Planning, and Website Committees. Below you will find a list of GSNJ’s current volunteer opportunities.

How Volunteers Can Help

New Jersey County Locality Guides Project

How well do you know the New Jersey County where you conduct research? Whether you are local or research from afar, the Genealogical Society of New Jersey is seeking your help!

Volunteers are needed to create guides for each of the 21 counties. A guide template will be provided. Once a County Locality Guide is complete, the downloadable County Locality Guides will be made available for free on the GSNJ website. Interested volunteers should email volunteers@gsnj.org with your name and county of interest.

GSNJ Programs Committee

Assist with monthly webinars. Requires expertise with hosting Zoom meetings. Interested volunteers should email volunteers@gsnj.org with your name and level of Zoom experience.
