The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania mission is to provide leadership and support in promoting genealogy through education, preservation, and access to Pennsylvania-related genealogical information.

Concentrating primarily in Pennsylvania and its adjoining states, but also including immigration into and out of Pennsylvania, GSP has collections that have been indexed and digitized on its website as well as collections at its office that have not yet been indexed or digitized. Included are church registers, funeral, cemetery, and family Bible records, family papers and correspondence, as well as published genealogies, town and county histories, and periodicals. A loyal corps of GSP volunteers continues to index records of churches and cemeteries as past volunteers have done. In recent years, volunteers also have been scanning records, running them through optical character recognition software, and uploading them to the website, along with processing collections and cataloging books for our library.
