Society Dues for 2026
The WVGS annual membership dues remain unchanged for 2026 with the exception of the Beaver Brief hard copy costs which have increased $5 due to postage rates. Since we are into the second half of the year, memberships are discounted accordingly.
Dues for one year’s individual membership will be $30.00, and $40.00 for a Family membership. Individual Life memberships are currently $250.00 ($200.00 for those 70 and older).
As always, membership includes an emailed color PDF copy of the Beaver Briefs and access to all the content on our Member’s page. Mailed B&W printed copies of the Beaver Briefs are available to members for an additional $20.00 ($25.00 for non-members).

One of the major advantages of membership with the WVGS is access to our quarterly publication ‘The Beaver Briefs’.
Here is a list of the articles from all 57+ years of this publication along with a master surname reference index of nearly 100,000 entries, first and last names, appearing in our Beaver Briefs.

A new WVGS logo shirt is available for members. The cost is $30. Pam Dehnhoff is modeling the shirt.
It is good advertising for the Society especially for the help desk and special events. We have an upcoming event at the Saturday Market on August 1st.
Custom Stitch at 2090 Commercial ST NE is embroidering the shirts.
If you are interested in ordering a shirt, please make payment to: Willamette Valley GS and mail to, PO Box 2083, Salem OR 97308-2083.

The Library Volunteer Research Help Program
The Willamette Valley Genealogical Society has volunteers at the Salem Public Library to help you with your genealogy questions. Currently, the Library hours are: 10:00-7:00 Tuesday-Thursday, 10:00-5:00 Friday-Sunday (closed Monday and holidays).
Our very competent volunteers do research on family connections all over the country and world, not just in Oregon. And, don’t forget that the Ancestry.com Library Edition is available for free to Salem Public Library patrons.
We are here to serve our library patrons, and our volunteers are very excited about being back at the library helping patrons with their genealogical questions and research.
