| ==== Book and Film Numbers Used by the Family History Library ====
| |
| | |
| The Family History Library has used different methods to number its growing collection of books and films since its start in 1894. Formerly used numbers are still found in old family records in the lists of sources for the data. These old numbers are no longer used so the current numbers for the books and films must be determined.<br>
| |
| | |
| For an explanation of the different systems used over the years (including the current system), and to see tables for converting old book and film numbers to new, click [[Book and Film Numbers Used by the Family History Library|here]].
