The DAR Genealogy Preservation Committee was established in 2003. The goal of this committee is to index DAR genealogical and membership information into searchable databases. The work will assist in preserving these valuable records for posterity and significantly enhance the application approval and membership record retrieval processes.

The result of the data input by this committee's Descendants Project appears in the DAR Genealogical Research System (GRS). The GRS is a valuable tool which is used to assist in the completion of applications.

Our volunteers also have done an amazing job on the Supporting Documentation Project. When the project started, there were decades of documents to categorize ... now the work is caught up. The backlog of images has been indexed – an incredible 8.2 million documents.

Please note there is a strong possibility a new project will be made available over the next several months. New volunteers will then be needed. If this occurs, you will hear from me.
