Pegasus

DGS launched Pegasus: Journal of the Dallas Genealogical Society, a scholarly journal, in 2012. The first issue was published in spring of 2013. There were two categories of publication: Research Issues and Records Issues. Articles were accepted through an annual Writing Contest conducted by the DGS that offers cash prizes as well as publication of selected articles.

Publication of Pegasus was suspended in 2017.
