About PCGS

The Pima County Genealogy Society, located in Tucson, Arizona, was established in July 2011. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping you discover more about your heritage. Our mission is to:

    • Promote genealogy and family history research
    • Help our members learn about genealogy and how to apply that knowledge to uncover their personal family history
    • Collect, preserve and disseminate genealogical, biographical, and historical knowledge and information
    • Encourage the affiliation of people interested in the pursuit of their ancestral heritage
    • Host and participate in meetings, seminars, and events to raise public interest in genealogy and in the Pima County Genealogy Society

Our Meetings

PCGS meets the 3rd Saturday of every month (except July and December) from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM via Zoom and in person at the Truly Nolen Leadership Training Center, 436 S. Williams Blvd., Tucson, AZ.  Parking is free.

The first half of our meeting includes a program on a genealogy topic of general interest, followed by a featured guest speaker educational program. Check the Calendar section of our website for information on upcoming programs and guest speakers.

What Does our Logo Symbolize?

Our logo is based on the state flag of Arizona which “represents the copper star of Arizona rising from a blue field in the face of a setting sun” (quote from legislation). The 13 gold and red rays represent the sun setting over the western desert and the original 13 colonies. Red and gold colors were also carried by Coronado’s Spanish expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola in 1540. The center star signifies copper production. Arizona produces more copper than any other state in the country and one of its nicknames is the Copper State. The field of blue is the same liberty blue as the United States flag. Blue and old gold are also Arizona’s official state colors. For more information about the state symbols of Arizona, visit the Arizona page of the State Symbols USA website.
