LDS FILMS

The Society provides an important service to members whereby we borrow, for members’ use, microfilms of original records from the vast collection held by the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

Arrangements mirror those used by most LDS Family History Centres. Briefly they are:

Users view the LDS catalogue (available at the GSV and on the Internet via www.familysearch.org) to identify the film(s) of interest, enter the necessary information on the appropriate form, and pay a fee of $7.90 per film

Please enter film number carefully as there will be no refund for errors

When the films are received the member will be advised by phone (local calls only) or mail, and be invited to set a date and time to reserve a film reader to view them (note that they may be viewed only in the GSV library)

Films will be held at the GSV for four weeks only then returned

While there is no official limit to the number of films which may be ordered at one time please be mindful that they may all arrive at the same time and there may be insufficient time to view them
