In order to provide another free resource for your family history research, the Library has become a FamilySearch affiliate.
This means access to more digital data when viewing the online records while you're inside any of our three locations.
FamilySearch is a database maintained by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Creation of a free personal account is required. With the Library's affiliate status, if you're using a Library computer or our WiFi, certain records will automatically be unlocked that aren't available from home.
These records, many of which had previously only been available on microfilm, are now available at no cost to you. So the next time you're in the Library, just visit the FamilySearch website to get started.
You can find information about the Library's additional resources to help on your family history quest on our genealogy page.
