Discovery Center Discovery - to see, get knowledge of, learn of, find or find out; gain sight or knowledge of something previously unseen or unknown.

The Discovery Center enables visitors to enjoy enlightening experiences as they uncover exciting new realities about themselves, their connections to their families, and to other individuals and groups throughout the world past and present.

Our Discovery Center includes 13 large, interactive touch screens with cameras allowing users to explore amazing facts about themselves and compare their photo to ancestor pictures. Learn more about these activities in the Discovery area of the FamilySearch website at FamilySearch Discovery.



Picture Your Heritage

Snap a picture of yourself or your group standing in front of a scene from the country of your ancestors or your favorite temple. Send these photos to yourself or other family members via email address or text message.

Record My Story

Need prompts to tell your story? The Oral History room provides great questions to jump-start your personal history, or use your own questions to tell and record your story. Recording both audio and video in five minute segments, users can then preview, re-record, or accept the recording.

Participants can then download the recorded story via email or text. The audio portion can also be uploaded into FamilySearch Memories using a FamilySearch account. If logged into FamilySearch, these files (audio and video) are stored for 60 days and may be downloaded repeatedly until they expire.
