Genealogical Recordings

National Genealogical Society (NGS)

Recordings from the NGS annual conference, including the 2015 event in St. Charles, MO (May 13–16, 2015) and earlier years in Richmond, VA; Las Vegas, NV; Cincinnati, OH; Charleston, SC; Kansas City, MO; and Raleigh, NC.

JAMB Tapes, Inc. has built its reputation by capturing audio from a wide range of professional conferences, with a particular focus on the genealogical community. The collection brings together lectures, methodology sessions, and society banquets from leading national and regional organizations, allowing listeners who could not attend in person to experience the same content on compact disc. By archiving these recordings, the company helps preserve the spoken contributions of respected researchers and instructors, making the educational material available long after the live events have ended. This ongoing commitment to recording and distributing conference audio reflects a deep appreciation for the value of shared knowledge across the field of genealogy.

The genealogical offerings highlighted on the site include recordings from the National Genealogical Society and the Family History Guild, along with content from many other regional and specialty societies. Each collection gathers talks on methodology, source analysis, regional history, and records-based research, giving subscribers access to a broad cross-section of expertise. Event locations have spanned cities across the country over the years, illustrating the national reach of these gatherings. Rather than presenting a single conference in isolation, the archives allow users to follow themes and instructors across multiple years and venues, building a deeper and more layered understanding of the topics discussed.

Browsing the site reveals a straightforward structure organized by sponsoring organization, event, and year, so visitors can quickly locate recordings of interest. Featured categories and updated lists draw attention to recently added content, while a simple search and checkout process makes it easy to build a personal library. The visual design uses bold blue accents against clean white panels, giving the impression of an organized archive rather than a sprawling marketplace. Photographic tiles of past events provide a visual connection to the live gatherings, reinforcing the link between the original conference experience and the audio preserved on disc.

Beyond genealogy, JAMB Tapes extends its recording services to other professional communities served through the same platform, including nursing simulation content and recovery-based programming. This broader focus demonstrates a versatile approach to capturing specialized knowledge, whether for continuing education, training, or personal enrichment. The combination of an established recording workflow, a familiar online store interface, and a growing catalog of audio titles positions the company as a steady resource for societies and individuals who value high-quality, lasting access to conference presentations across several distinct fields of study.
