PPLD Expands Genealogical Resources

Pikes Peak Library District Special Collections is thrilled to be the newest FamilySearch affiliate library. PPLD patrons now have convenient access to the wealth of genealogical resources available through FamilySearch, the world’s largest repository of genealogical records. These records are stored on microfilms at the famous Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.

You can request this microfilm using the convenient ordering system at http://www.familysearch.org/films. There is a nominal fee of $5.50 per reel to cover shipping and handling. Once the film arrives at PPLD Special Collections, patrons can use the microfilm readers in the department to view it and make photocopies. Special Collections staff can help patrons see what is available and help with questions regarding film orders.
