The SCRI is accessed by a disk operating system (DOS) platform. Because current technology no longer supports the DOS platform there is a very limited accessibility to the ten million, searchable names available to look up in the database. Furthermore, patrons who are able to access the index at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, are generally unaware that it exists. | The SCRI is accessed by a disk operating system (DOS) platform.
