Day Pass

Home » Membership » Day Pass

Saskatchewan Genealogical Society (SGS) offers a Day Pass to non-members to access our online databases.  The Day Pass can be used in our library or remotely from your home.

The Day Pass is for 24 hours and the fee is $10. Day passes are available Monday to Friday. Payment is by cash, cheque or credit card.

Online payment by credit card can be made by completing a Membership Form (select Day Pass as Membership Type) and submit the form. It will then take you to a PayPal website for payment. You do not require a PayPal account to use this option, just a credit card. Please note that after-hours and weekend purchases will not be activated until the next business day. You can also make credit card payments by calling 306-780-9207.

Once payment is received you will receive a membership number. Using the membership number along with a username that you create yourself, you will then register on our website to use the databases. You will receive an email advising you when your access has been granted. You will then have 24 hours to use the databases after which your access will be removed.
