In September 2008, GSP was the lead local sponsor of the Federation of Genealogical Societies' Annual Conference in Philadelphia.

Visitors to the library may access GSP's extensive collection of third-party CD-ROM publications, which focus on, but are not limited to, Pennsylvania genealogy.

The programs vary in length from one-hour lectures to full-day seminars and are hosted at different locations within the state.

Its Partners newsletter is distributed to members of GSP's Partnership Program to inform them of issues of interest to Pennsylvania genealogists.
