WorldCat Online Catalog

OCLC WorldCat is an online union catalog of over 2 billion titles at 72,000 libraries in 172 countries and territories. The catalog of the Family History Library was made available via OCLC WorldCat in 2014. Although it is the world’s largest bibliographic database for materials held around the world, OCLC WorldCat is not comprehensive.
