Family History Center staff can also help you search the Family History Library Catalog, or you can search it yourself before visiting the center. The Family History Library Catalog is a catalog of the holdings of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, the central library of FamilySearch which has been gathering genealogical records for over 115 years. Most of those records were recorded onto microfilm and microfiche. Copies of those 2.3 million rolls of microfilm and microfiche circulate to Family History Centers all over the world much like a public library’s inter-library loan system. The Family History Library's book and CD collections do not circulate.


 * Family History Library Catalog: This center has the ability to order any of the films and fiche available through the Family History Library Catalog.
