Los Angeles Family History Library Announces Reopening

Saturday, November 6, 2010
9 am–9 pm with special tours at 12, 2, 4, & 6 pm

Sunday, November 7, 2010
3–9 pm

Those who come to the open house will be able to attend some of the free 20-minute miniclasses, the schedule for which will be posted before the open house on the library’s website at www.lafhl.org. The library will not be available for research during the open house. During the open house, you will be introduced to our newly renovated and enhanced library, which includes:

• State-of-the-art technology: High-speed Internet, new updated computers, and virtual teaching classrooms facilitate genealogical research that cannot be accessed at smaller family history centers.
• Large collection of resources: Microfilms and fiches, books, and free use of fee-based websites such as Ancestry.com.
• Video conferencing: The computer laboratory is uniquely designed to support video conferencing technology. As a result, classes originating from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City or the Riverton FamilySearch Library and facility can be taught real time at the Los Angeles Family History Library. Conversely, programming may originate from Los Angeles and be distributed to distant family history libraries.
• Classroom facilities: Two large new classrooms will be used for training and for beginning, intermediate, and advanced family history courses that teach the most current family history research methods.

The Saturday tours start with a special presentation followed by time for questions and answers. All who attend the open house are invited to participate in the tours, but they are geared especially for priesthood leaders, family history center directors, and family history consultants.
