Lubbock Texas FamilySearch Center

The Lubbock Texas FamilySearch Center is a (non-circulating) branch of the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is sponsored by the Lubbock Texas Stake and the Lubbock Texas North Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and serves the local community.

The facilities and access to its holdings are free of charge. There are nominal fees for printing, copying and other consumable materials. Locally retained microfilm and microfiche can be viewed at the FamilySearch Center. Additionally, the FamilySearch Catalog can be searched to find and view digital copies of on-line microfilm.

The volunteers, who staff the FamilySearch Center, do not do family history research for patrons, but are available for personalized assistance, if desired. The staff can also provide instructions in the use of the computer systems and assist patrons in finding and using materials in the FamilySearch Center.

Volunteer at the Center

Whether you are a member of the Church or not, we are always looking for qualified volunteers to help staff our Center. Staff for the Center are scheduled once a week for either a two or four hour shift.

If you are interested in serving with us, please contact us via the FamilySearch Center e-mail address for more information.
