Ordering Microfilm or Microfiche from a Family History Center

How to order films to a family history center.

If you find a description of a Family History Library microfilm or microfiche you would like to see, you can request that a copy be loaned to a Family History Center. A nominal fee is charged for the loan. The center staff will place the order. When the film arrives, you can go to the center and view it. Ask the staff at the center for current fees and ordering procedures. There are three ways to find the nearest family history center:


 * Go to the main www.familysearch.org web site. At the library tab click on family history centers and type in your locality in the field labeled "Find a Family History Center Near Your Home".
 * If you live in North America, call 1-866-406-1830.
 * Look in the telephone book for "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Call and ask for the location of the family history center.

Each family history center is staffed by volunteers who can show you how to search for records of your family.

Each center has unique hours of operation, so be sure to telephone your local center for their scheduled hours before you visit.
