Midwest Historical
and
Genealogical Society

Midwest Historical and Genealogical Society began in 1966 when concerned citizens of the community recognized the need for a genealogical organization to collect, preserve and disseminate genealogical and related historical data, with special emphasis on the preservation of Sedgwick County history and heritage.  The society is conducted as a non-profit educational organization under Internal Revenue Code, Section 501 (c) (3), operating as a corporation, with current bylaws and standing rules. MHGS is a non profit organization with no ethnic, age or racial restrictions.

The library is operated by an all volunteer staff. If you have a few hours a month that you could volunteer please contact us and we will match your skills and talents to our needs. Because our staff is limited when requesting copies of any of our material please allow four weeks for MHGS to receive and process your request.

For further information on the Society or membership please call (316) 264-3611 during business hours) or send SASE to: Midwest Historical and Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 1121, Wichita, KS 67201-1121 or stop by the library at 1203 North Main, Wichita, KS. E-mail: mhgs1121@aol.com .
