OGS Writers Group (Special Interest Groups)
2:00 pm OGS Library, 955 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR
The OGS Writers’ Group meets on the first Saturday of the month at 2:00 pm. We’ll begin in the OGS library and move to the annex if we need more space.
All writers and wannabe-writers are invited. There is no agenda for this meeting; it will be a gathering of people who like to write about family history—whether for publication, for sharing with family members, or simply for their own satisfaction. If you've already done some genealogical writing, please bring that along to share. Seeing other people’s writing can spark ideas for our own writing.
If you have questions and want to talk to me before the meeting, you can text me at 541.513.3918 or email christina.b.armstrong@gmail.com.
I hope to see you there!

The Research Party is an opportunity to do research at OGS with others. Everyone works on their research but is free to discuss what they are working on, share finds, and ask questions. It is not meant to be an instructional event, just a fun time to research when the library is not normally open. You will be able to access many of the records on FamilySearch that are not available to you at home. You are welcome to bring a beverage and snack.
We meet in the even months on the second or third Sunday from 1:00 – 3:00 pm in the Annex.
