The PPGS Virtual Book Sale is back! Join us for this great opportunity to find genealogical references for people or places you're researching, an in-depth look on the life of a prominent person, a fascinating and educational look at some aspect of history, some relaxed reading, periodical issues that you've missed, or maybe a new cookbook.
Join us for the Pikes Peak Genealogical Society's Virtual Book sale, which will run from
8:00 am January 5, 2025 to 5:00 pm January 18, 2025. The sale may be accessed by clicking the link in the left-hand menu of the home page for PPGS

Listed will be over 1,351 items in the categories of Biographies/Autobiographies; Cooking, Gardening & Nature; Family Histories; Genealogy Reference & Methods; General Fiction & Nonfiction; History; Lifestyle; Maps & Other Graphics; Periodicals & Newsletters; and Other/Misc. Many of these books are rare and/or out-of-print. This is particularly true of the Family Histories material. Special items/collections in the sale this year include:
- The Genealogy Reference collection contains 636 items both specific to a location and broader materials including preserving documents, dating photographs, military atlases, brick wall solutions, crafts & trades, and more.
- Our Autobiography/Biography collection has 44 items ranging from presidents and military leaders to travelers/explorers, and celebrities. You’re bound to find someone who interests you.
- Our History collection has 290 items, with books on cities, states, international locations, Native American groups, religious groups, and much more.
- Our Family Histories collection has 164 items, many of these were very limited editions, often self-published and hard to find. We even have a handful of short, personal family histories that are likely one of a kind. You’re going to want to look at these in case one is for your family.
- Need a break from Genealogy? Try out one of the hundreds of other books in a variety of categories on offer – including the first seven books of the Jefferson Tayte genealogical mystery series.
