MAAGI was established in 2013
Since it's founding, the Midwest African American Genealogy Institute (MAAGI) has provided an amazing learning experience for genealogists and researchers. The Institute, also known commonly as MAAGI has grown and has taken its place as a trusted educational and training institute. After the recent fourth year, the Midwest African American Genealogy Institute is growing. A record number of participants came from multiple states, and it is clear that MAAGI has established itself as a genealogical educational experience of benefit for the beginner, the intermediate researcher, and the professional.
MAAGI's history is a unique one, having been hosted for the first three years at Harris Stowe State University, in St. Louis. Participants found that MAAGI provided genealogical training and guidance needed to expand their skills. From 2016-2019, the MAAGI experience was hosted at one of the largest genealogy libraries in the country, Allen County Public Library (ACPL) in Ft. Wayne Indiana. Since 2020 due to Covid 19, MAAGI offered the program virtually and is still going strong and about to enter our 11th consecutive year!
MAAGI is the only African American focused event offering a total of 72 classes over 3 days with evening lectures, and guided personalized instruction. In 2022, attendees selected a track in which they immersed themselves in a core curriculum for three days taking 12 different classes, guided by nationally recognized instructors.
MAAGI 2023 will begin on Tuesday July 11th and conclude on Thursday July 13th, so come and join the Midwest African American Genealogy Institute family for a memorable and content rich experience!
Our goal is to provide education, through research with the right resources.
