Hardware and Equipment
Construction is now finished; the Center has been redesigned and completely rebuilt. We have 17 new internet connected Computers; 15 of them are touch-screen.

Groups are welcome; we have the capability of teaching groups using a large touch screen TV. It works well for youth groups.

We also have a private Family Room for 1 family at a time to have a Discovery Experience also using a separate large touch screen TV.

For appointments to the Family Room or for your group, email at ca_huntingtonbeach@ldsmail.net. List the date and time you desire and your phone number so we may contact you. We need to prepare special for your family's visit or line up experienced "coaches" for your group's training visit.

We have a digital imaging machine for reading microfilm and fiche and for printing or saving as a pdf file to a flash drive. We have a desktop page with links to many commonly used Family History research websites.

Resources in the Local Area
The Huntington Beach Public Library located at GoldenWest and Talbert has a very large collection of books, maps, magazines. It is open whenever the library is. Call 714-842-4481. We regularly refer patrons to each other.

Volunteer at the Center
Volunteers are always needed. It is an excellent way to set aside a regular time to work on your own research and learn from others. We do an orientation for any new consultants. We can teach family history skills.
