Library Background

• The Bountiful Utah Heights Multistake Center is a branch library of the Genealogical Library located in Salt Lake City. The main library was founded in 1894 to gather genealogical records and assist members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with their family history and genealogical research. The main Library is the largest library of its kind in the world and is visited by an estimated 1,900 or more individual patrons and groups each day. Our branch library is much more modest.

Records Collection
• Through a microform circulation system, we have access to the main library's collection of many of the genealogical records of the world.

• Our computers access the FamilySearch database which contains many millions of names linked into families.

Training and Assistance
• We offer access to and assistance in the use of many internet research sites. We can also assist you with the use of The FamilySearch Catalog, the online catalog describing the holdings of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

• Other training in such things as research basics, data management programs, the Research Wiki, and other programs can be arranged by appointment by calling the TFH - Consultant - Center at 801-299-4246.
