THE FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY CATALOG The key to finding a record in the Family History Library's collection is the Family History Library Catalog. The catalog describes each of the library's records and provides the call numbers. Microfiche copies of the catalog are at the Family History Library and at each Family History Center. Also, at the library and at most centers, you can also search the catalog on computer.
The Family History Library Catalog is divided into four major sections:
To find the call numbers of the records described in this outline, you will most often use the Locality section. The paragraph headings in this outline that describe types of records, such as “Church Records,” are the same as the subject headings found in the Locality section of the Family History Library Catalog.
The catalog generally uses the same language that the records are written in to describe the records. However, the description also includes a brief English summary of the content.
The Locality section lists records according to the area they cover. Records relating to the entire country, such as passenger lists, are listed under:
This outline also provides some of the library's call numbers. These are preceded by FHL, the abbreviation for Family History Library.
If you need more information on using the Family History Library Catalog, a short videocassette presentation, written instructions, and librarians are available to assist you.
