== FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries ==
FamilySearch Affiliate Public Libraries have privileges to borrow microfilms and microfiche from FamilySearch. Films and fiche go to the affiliate organization and patrons view the microfilm at the library. Public or university libraries, archives, museums, or genealogical societies can become affiliate public libraries. 
The Affiliate Public Library does have some limitations and does not have all the privileges of a family history center.  The affiliate provides their own equipment to view microfilm or microfiche and they do not have a Tivoli connection to FamilySearch servers are access to the premium websites found on the Family History Center Portal.  There are also some restricted images in Historical Records they are unable to view.
