The society was founded in 1983 for the purpose of supporting research in genealogy and local history in Värmland, and to unite all who share this interest. The society is a member of Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societis.
We are publishing a quarterly magazine called VärmlandsAnor. It's all in Swedish, but you can obtain it by joining our society. For fees, please contact the president .
Our quarterly magazine has been published since 1984. Each issue has a number of stories in genealogy and local history, as well as book reviews. Two ancestral tables is also presented.
We organize meetings for genealogists in Värmland. Our society hosted the Swedish Genealogy Days in Karlstad in September 1999, with the annual meeting of Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societis.
