To better align the identity of family history centers with FamilySearch.org, the Church’s free online family history resource, all centers are being renamed “FamilySearch Centers.” The Church’s Family History Library, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, will be renamed the “FamilySearch Library.”

In FamilySearch centers, Church and community members may have access to help, equipment, and other free resources, including millions of additional historical records, to further their family history efforts. The renaming of family history centers will help FamilySearch.org patrons identify and utilize these family history resources located in their communities.

New signs for each FamilySearch Center will be available in the near future. Local priesthood leaders are asked to work with their assigned facilities managers to oversee the installation of these signs. Priesthood leaders and stake and ward councils are also invited to consider how this change may increase opportunities for inviting more people from the community to the FamilySearch Centers.
