The Society holds regular meetings throughout the year except in December and January.   An integral part of each meeting is a talk given by a noted speaker on topics related to genealogical and historical research.  See the full calendar below.  All General Meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month, at 7:00 P.M. in the society's library, located in the Goggleworks, 201 Washington St., Reading, PA 19601.  Click here for Mapquest maps and directions to the Goggleworks.

The society also holds one dinner meeting and one picnic each year. The June Dinner Meeting is held at various locations.
