Family History Library. established in 1894 in Salt Lake City, Utah; the largest of its kind in the world. The library houses millions of microfilms, thousands of microfiche and books, and many other records, most of which have been acquired through an extensive microfilming program that began in 1938. Microfilmers are presently filming original documents in churches, courthouses, and archives in many countries. Because not everyone is able to come to Salt Lake City to use the FHL, most of its extensive holdings are accessible at numerous Family History Centers located throughout the world. Anyone is welcome to request a loan of these FHL microfilms through their local FHC.
