Map/Society Page Project

What is the Map/Society Page Project?
FamilySearch would like to include your society on our Family History Center finder map on FamilySearch.org! When a researcher looks for a center, currently they see all centers that are close to the search term. If your society is included, it will show on the map along with other centers in your area.

When you are listed, we will place a society icon for your society::


 * Society name
 * Location of society building or meeting
 * Hours of building or meeting
 * Contact information
 * Link to society page on the wiki - created and maintained by the society

The Society Wiki page includes:


 * Purpose of the Society
 * Holdings of your society including, record collections, indexes, publications, etc.
 * List of Look up Services
 * Benefits of joining your Society
 * Society meetings
 * Society projects

How Does Your Society Get Started?

 * Step 1 - Send an email to uswiki@familysearch.org to request the creation of your empty society page. This is the page you will enter and edit information about your Society. You will be notified when it is complete.


 * Step 2 - Gather information about your society and write it down on a Society Page Form. You can print either one (they are the same) or you can save them to you computer but save it with a different name before you fill it out.
