The Sullivan County Historical and Genealogical Society publishes a semiannual publication in the Spring and Fall of each year. The publication is known as the SCHGS Journal, and each issue of the publication contains approximately 80 to 100 pages of power-packed historical and genealogical information. Geographical areas covered include Sullivan County and surrounding areas of East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

The SCGS Journal may be obtained by sending a $20 annual membership fee to SCGS, P.O. Box 568, Blountville/TN 37617. The Journals will be sent to each SCGS member via U.S. mail upon publication in the Spring and Fall of each year. If you join in the middle of the year, you will still receive both the Spring and Fall issues.
