What a team!
The New Mexico Genealogical Society and the
Albuquerque Genealogical Society
are working together in an effort to earn funds for our genealogy library, the
Special Collections branch of the Albuquerque Public Library system.
Any purchase from Amazon that goes through a link on the AGS or NMGS web site earns a modest percentage
that is donated in full to the Special Collections library for materials.
(A "win-win" situation for all library patrons!)
