About Us
The Melting Pot Genealogical Society was organized in September 1976 by Ms. Inez Cline and others. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to the assimilation and preservation of historical and genealogical documents. It boasts a reference library of well over a thousand volumes, as well as historical journals, microfilm, and microfiche (see library inventory). Dues are $20.00 per year, and that includes membership for husband and wife. These dues entitle a member to receive the annual periodical as well as checking out four books for a two-week period per member family. Unfortunately, we are unable to mail books to be checked out. They must be checked out at the library in person and brought back in person.
The Melting Pot is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This means that any donation, both large and small, is tax deductible. This could include books, needed items or cash donations.
The Melting Pot library is now connected to the internet!! You may use the library computer or bring your wireless notebook computer to the library and log on.
New Logo
The new Melting Pot logo was designed by Douglas Eddie Rice of Rock House Design Studio in Royal, Arkansas.
Library Hours
The Melting Pot Library is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each Monday and Friday and the second Saturday of each month. Monthly meetings are every fourth Tuesday at the MPGS library at 1:30 p.m. from September through May. A "Calendar of Events" is posted showing the scheduled times and program for the monthly meetings. The public is invited to all meetings.
How to Contact Us
We welcome comments and/or corrections via e-mail. If you live in the Hot Springs area (or are visiting), we invite you to visit our library and to, hopefully, decide to join our fast-growing association. Our periodicals are full of interesting and helpful information.
The Melting Pot Genealogical Society has changed its email address, so please make note of it. It may be found at the top of the page. There is an email address for the society itself and one for the webmaster. The webmaster's address should be used to send in photographs, request obituaries or to correct an entry. The society's address should be used to request any information from the society.
