OCLC WorldCat is a free online bibliographic database of over 2 billion titles at 72,000 libraries[1] in 172 countries and territories. The catalog of the Family History Library also has been made available via OCLC WorldCat starting in 2014.[2] Although it is the world’s largest catalog of materials held around the world, WorldCat does not list collections housed in non-member repositories.
