Who owns the microfilm and microfiche at a FamilySearch center?

Share

Any microfilms or microfiche in your center are on loan and are the property of FamilySearch. Long-term loans made to individuals also belong to FamilySearch. Do not donate, give away, sell, or relocate microfilms or microfiche to another facility, individual, or organization without permission.

The copyright holder or records custodian maintains rights of ownership. The record custodian gives the Church license to copy the records and circulate microfilms to the FamilySearch Library or as digital images.
