Microfilm Retirement

The FamilySearch Library has announced that as of December it will cease in-person microfilm, microfiche and CD lookups at the library. Previously, patrons could request any reel from the site vault to be transferred to the library for research.

Does this mean you should not plan a stop at the library in the future? Of course not! Although all of the microfilm in the collection has been digitized as of September 2023, many of those records cannot be viewed unless you are at the library (or a FamilySearch Center) in person. The volunteers at the library also continue to be a valuable resource for any genealogist.
