Quarterly Publications: Published since Dec 1955, the Oklahoma Genealogical Society Quarterly publishes a wide range of material with an emphasis on the early records of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. The Quarterly is exchanged for publications in many other states and foreign countries. Some back issues are available.
Surname Card File: Members are encouraged to submit a 3x5 surname card for each name on their ancestor chart. This file, now numbering in the thousands, assists others in locating fellow researchers working on the same lines.

line or in the Quarterly.
