The OGS Newsletter is published monthly (September - June) to keep members
informed of the news and activities of the organization and its members.
The OGS Quarterly is published in January, April, July and October to
provide information of interest to family history researchers and those
interested in the history of Thurston County.
In addition, OGS has published the following records in book format:

- Cemetery Records of Thurston County, Washington,
compiled by Richard F. Jones, 1994. (Vol. 1, A-F, Vol. 2, G-M, Vol. 3, N-Z) More

volumes. Each listing includes the name, date of birth, date of death and any other
information on the headstone. The information for all 21 cemeteries is presented
in one alphabetical listing. This eliminates the need for an index and for researchers
to review every cemetery when searching for an internment in Thurston County. Each
volume includes a brief description and/or history of each cemetery. *** Out of Print ***
