FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject FamilySearch Center Contact Information

Purpose
The purpose of this project is to add addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, hours open, and holiday schedules to family history center Wiki pages.

Many Family History Center pages lack this information.

Resources
Complete lists of United States and Canada FamilySearch Centers are available to project participants. E-mail Nathan Murphy [mailto:murphynw@familysearch.org murphynw@familysearch.org] for access to these documents.

Steps
1. Go to https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page

2. Search for the name of the family history center


 * Each center should already have a page set up, please notify Nathan Murphy if you find a center that does not already have a page set up

3. Click on the link for that center's Wiki page

4. Review the page to see if addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, open hours, and holiday schedules have already been added. If that information has already been added, check the formatting and see if the Wiki text needs to be cleaned up. Once you have done that, that family history center is finished, proceed to the next family history center on the list. If any of the information is missing, proceed to step 5.

Here is an example of the standardized information:
