To find out if a local FamilySearch center or library has a specific microfilm or book in its collection, search the FamilySearch Catalog. The Availability options let you choose a library or center.
Caution: As of 2022, microfilm inventories for FamilySearch centers are longer updated. We cannot guarantee that the catalog has up-to-date information about what microfilms are at a specific center or library. We recommend that you contact the center before you visit to see if they still have the microfilm. To find the operating hours of a center and contact information, use the FamilySearch Find a Location service.
