Mormons believe that even ancestors who have passed away can be spiritually redeemed. To facilitate this, the Mormon Church has built the largest genealogical library in the world. Spend some time investigating your own family history amidst the astounding collection in the Family History Library, located on North West Temple Street in downtown Salt Lake City. Boasting a staggering 2.2 million rolls of microfilmed records, 742,000 microfiche, 300,000 books, and 4,500 periodicals from all over the world, the library's entire collection is meticulously preserved and organized. There is information available from more than 110 countries and territories, and the holdings expand on an ongoing basis. Literally hundreds of volunteers and professionals are standing by to help you use computers, microfiche, and microfilm machines, as well as other resources, to access the information you need. The Family History Library is open year-round from Monday-Saturday, and searching the library's collection is free for the public. You will get more out of your visit if you have done some genealogical work beforehand or at least collected relevant family records.
