In addition to the Society's libraries, resources and support system, The Israel Genealogical Society is available to host a member's personal family homepage, as well as to acquaint the public with books published by members.
Members of the IGS receive the internationally acclaimed periodical Sharsheret Hadorot, a journal of Jewish genealogy featuring original in depth articles on a wide range of topics.
