Hundreds of FamilySearch affiliate libraries are helping extend FamilySearch’s services to millions of patrons worldwide. Affiliate libraries have access to FamilySearch’s digital genealogical collections that are otherwise accessible only through a FamilySearch center.
Local affiliate libraries can be a public or higher education library, archive, museum, cultural center, or genealogical or historical society.
