<br>Family History Center staff can also help you search the [[An overview of the Family History Library Catalog|Family History Library Catalog]], or you can search it yourself before visiting the center.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;[[An overview of the Family History Library Catalog|Family History Library Catalog]] is a catalog of the holdings of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, the central library of FamilySearch which has been gathering genealogical records for over 115 years. Most of those records were recorded onto microfilm and microfiche. Copies of those 2.3 million rolls of microfilm and microfiche circulate to Family History Centers all over the world much like a public library’s inter-library loan system. The Family History Library's book and CD collections do not circulate.
