California African
American Genealogical Society, Inc. (CAAGS)
Mission
The mission statement of CAAGS is to foster genealogical
research and documentation through presentations, educational classes, state
and national caucuses and publication of sound genealogical research. Our four
objectives are:
To encourage and support the utilization of genealogy as a
tool for African-Americans to become aware of their history, heritage and self
worth.
To encourage the collection, preservation and maintenance of
African-American genealogical materials by supplementing various Museums &
Library collections and such other repositories as the Society deems
appropriate.
To stimulate the membership and the general public to study,
research and record their own family histories.
To promote and maintain ethical standards in genealogical
research and publications.
