​ The Genealogical Society of Hispanic America is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, incorporated in the state of Colorado. GSHA’s purpose is to promote Hispanic genealogical and historical research, education, and to expand awareness and knowledge of Hispanic culture, history, and traditions. We focus on research for people whose migration patterns led their ancestors to the Southwest, primarily from Spain and Mexico, but in some cases elsewhere. GSHA promotes the sharing and dissemination of genealogical research and information, creates mutual support for genealogical research, and promotes and maintains communication with other similar societies and organizations.

The Society has three chapters, two that meet monthly; one in Pueblo, Colorado, and one in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our third chapter meets quarterly in Burbank, California. There is also a member-at-large category with no chapter affiliation. An advantage of belonging to a chapter is that the California and Pueblo chapters have a quarterly newsletter and genealogy research libraries with thousands of resources. The Utah chapter holds their monthly meetings at the FamilySearch Library operated by the LDS church, the best genealogical library in the world with millions of resources. Included in all these resources are birth, marriage and death records, plus much more. Our libraries collect, transcribe, index, and publish records, making them accessible to members and the public. ​
Within our groups, we provide a platform for beginner and experienced genealogists to connect, share knowledge, and collaborate on research projects. Members can learn from each other's experiences and findings, especially when facing challenges in their research. In the last few years, we have provided information on genetic genealogy (DNA) and have many resources and presentations on this topic. Additionally, we offer webinars, zoom presentations and our GSHA Annual Meeting and Conference is held once a year in the summer to educate and inspire our members. We also have a quarterly journal, Nuestras Raices, and a quarterly newsletter, Nuestras Noticias.
