DAR Genealogical Records Committee
In 1913, the DAR established the Genealogical Research Committee
(subsequently renamed the Genealogical Records Committee) to coordinate this
nation-wide attempt to save historical records. The result has been nearly
17,000 typescripts of records from across the country. These volumes are
referred to collectively as the Genealogical Records Committee Reports, for
the DAR's national committee responsible for their production.
These typescripts contain a tremendous amount of unique genealogical
material, much of it gleaned from gravestones, family Bibles, and personal
collections. Members gather together information accessible to them where
they live, through family connections, or in their own genealogical papers.
When a member has material she wishes to submit, she presents it to her
chapter chairman, who in turn sends it on to the state chairman. The latter
is responsible for assembling the report for that state each year
incorporating materials which have come from the membership and chapters.
