Crimea Regional Interest Group Chapter
Sign up sheet for the Crimea RIG
The Crimea Regional Interest Group [RIG] Chapter has been organized and will function under and observe the current approved bylaws of GRHS.
The original Crimean RIG Chapter petitioners accept and declare we will observe all the GRHS Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation as written.
Mission Statement
We recognize the need to bring together those people interested in the collection, publication and preservation of our heritage as Germans from Russia. We will foster the preservation of folklore, songs, literature, objects of art, genealogies, photos, documents and all applicable records and do all other necessary work to carry out the objectives of GRHS and the Crimean RIG.
We will work together to further and advance the information and knowledge of our ancestors history while they resided in Crimea.
The following attributes of the Crimean RIG shall work in unison to achieve these goals in support of the objectives of GRHS.

Crimean Newsletter
None at present.
Village Coordinators
GRHS has good representation of many of the Crimean villages in our growing family of volunteer Village Coordinators.
Each member of the Crimean RIG is encouraged to network with the VCs representing their ancestor’s villages and parishes. It is essential that the activities of these volunteer VCs be supported.
It is also essential that we continue to have people volunteer to be VCs, and again we must take time to consider if we can volunteer to join in on these efforts – we can use several VCs for any and all of the Crimean villages.
Crimean Records Retrieval
A Crimean Records Retrieval Team must function in the background to advise the GRHS Archives Acquisition Committee on what records are important for Retrieval in support of the efforts of the Crimean RIG.
Project Coordination
Projects undertaken in behalf of Crimea, should be coordinated within the framework of the GRHS Clearing House.
Projects planning will be accomplished and teams of volunteers organized with complete Project Coordination provided.

An annual report will be prepared and presented to the Crimean RIG members present at the annual meeting. This report will be accepted by those members present, and then a copy will be provided to the President of GRHS.
