Push the button in on the first of those double doors to open it.  If it's locked, please ring the bell on the brick wall to the left of the doors, and someone will let you in.
 * All of the staff are volunteers.  Sometimes things happen that make it necessary for us to close unexpectedly.   For that reason, it's best to call before you come the first time.   After that, if you would like, you can be added to our email list.  Then you will get an email if we have to close unexpectedly.

Collections

 * Family History Library Catalog: This center has the ability to order any of the films and fiche available through the Family History Library Catalog.
 * Microfilm: We also have quite a few rolls of microfilm that we have retained when patrons ordered them on indefinite loan..
 * Microfiche: When a patron orders records on microfiche, they stay in the Family History Center permanently, so we have 27 years worth of miscellaneous records on fiche.  Plus we have the following complete collections: Old Parochial Scottish Church Records, Accelerated Indexing System,  and the Microfiche Reference Collection, which is a collection of the 100+ most used books at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
 * Books and Periodicals.  We don't have a lot, but too many to list here.   If you would like a complete list, please email us at NY_Newburgh@ldsmail.net.
