Social Media Content Calendar for Historical & Genealogical Societies

The Social Media Content Calendar for Historical & Genealogical Societies was created to take the stress and guesswork out of posting online. Instead of scrambling each week for something to share, your volunteers will have a full year of organized, purposeful content at their fingertips.
This calendar guides your society through what to post, when to post, and how to keep your community engaged—without needing marketing experience or extra time. Every prompt is designed to highlight your collections, promote your programs, invite conversation, and build long-term connection with your audience.
 
Inside the calendar, your society will receive:
Monthly content themes tied to national holidays, heritage months, and genealogy observances
Weekly post prompts for education, engagement, and promotion
Roll Call posts and monthly question prompts to spark conversation
Seasonal research ideas to keep content fresh year-round
Built-in support for events, meetings, and community programs
A hashtag guide to help posts reach the right audience
Simple posting guidance designed for volunteers
 
This calendar was built specifically for small teams and volunteer-run societies. It keeps posting realistic, consistent, and mission-focused—without overwhelm.
 
If your society wants to grow awareness, strengthen community connections, and show up online with confidence all year long, this content calendar gives you the structure to do exactly that.
 
Add the Content Calendar to your workflow and turn your social media into a steady, welcoming extension of your society’s mission.
