Become an AGS member

Some of the best training you can get is with the help from members of the AGS.  It is likely that there are several of them that share a common area of research with you and have done much of the legwork in seeking out sources of information.  So, if you want to tap into this wealth of knowledge come to one of our regular meetings or drop into the AGS library for help from one of our volunteers.
