Resources Available in the Library Church Membership Records      Our center has a large collection of LDS Church membership records on microfilm. These films, arranged by Ward, are not available in digital format, but the films are available for viewing. Due to privacy reasons, you may print information only for direct ancestors and those born 95 years ago. All other information must be crossed out. Additional LDS Church records are also available on film, with various use restrictions.

ScanPro 3000 Digital Microfilm/Fiche Reader      While many of the microfilm and fiche records are available for review on FamilySearch, there are still some records not yet available there. We have a new scanner unit to help you access these records. While it is generally not frequently used, it is best to call just before you come to ensure that it is not currently being used. You do not have to schedule for this.

Indexing Support      We have great indexing support every Wednesday in our computer lab with a highly experienced missionary couple to answer your questions and help you with your indexing efforts.

Obituary Collection      Most all the digital images from our obituary collection have been submitted to FamilySearch. The collection of digital images is still available at our center stored in a simple to access file folder system sorted by lastname.
