Restrictions for Viewing Images in FamilySearch Historical Record Collections

At times, users of the FamilySearch website will encounter this pop-up message when attempting to view images of historical records:



When record custodians grant access to FamilySearch to copy and distribute images of their records, a variety of contractual agreements are made. In some situations, record custodians do not allow FamilySearch to publish records online.

Some FamilySearch restricted images may be viewed when a user is signed-in to FamilySearch. Some images may only be viewed online by members of supporting organizations. Other images are only viewable on computers at family history centers.
