Microfilm Collection
[edit | edit source]
- Family Searched announced: "Huge news: after 83 years of filming the world’s historical genealogical records, FamilySearch has completed digitizing its 2.4 million rolls of microfilm. The best part? The archive, which contains information on more than 11.5 billion individuals, is now available for free on FamilySearch.org.
- All of the digitized microfilm can be viewed by searching the records on FamilySearch.org.
- Our Library has a very limited collection of microfilms and microfiche still at the library. Most have been returned. Those remaining are mainly from the United States and Europe (including Scandinavia and the United Kingdom).
- The library is equipped with a single digital film reader that has the capability to print film and microfiche images or save them to storage media.

The first step is to schedule an interview with the Area Temple and Family History Consultants at the Riverton FamilySearch Library by calling either Elder Ekblad at 801-240-9625 or Sister Ekblad at calling 801-240-9615. The interview is required for all those who desire to serve as a Church-service missionary at the library. Experience with family history, computer skill level, availability, personal limitations, library needs, start date, hours per week, and length of service will be discussed during the interview. Please do not submit any forms until after the interview.
