Volunteer at the Family History Library

Would you like to volunteer at the Family History Library? We are always looking for passionate, enthusiastic skilled volunteers to join our team. The Family History Library has volunteer opportunities for the following roles:


 * Research Assistant
 * Research Specialist
 * Discovery Assistant
 * Library Hosting
 * Collections Assistant
 * Administrative Assistant
 * Technology Assistant

Skilled volunteers must be willing and available to work a minimum of one four-hour shift a week (see shift options below) and to prepare each week by engaging in educational activities and family history research. In addition, they may be expected to assist with projects, attend training classes, workshops, and continuing education sessions sponsored by the library. Good health and stamina are essential as volunteers fulfill their assignments often on their feet. Volunteers should show genuine love to people and enjoy teaching patrons of all ages.

Volunteers who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must also be worthy of a temple recommend. Volunteers who are not members of the Church will be expected to abide by the Family History Library Standards of Conduct. Extensive travel, family, church or other conflicting commitments could make fulfilling this assignment difficult as consistent shift attendance is essential.
