SLIG and the FHL – Putting Your Knowledge into Practice!
One of the benefits of attending the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG) is the close proximity to the Family History Library (FHL).
FamilySearch provides the following information on the library:
“The collection includes over 2.4 million rolls of microfilmed genealogical records; 727,000 microfiche; 356,000 books, serials, and other formats; over 4,500 periodicals and 3,725 electronic resources. Records available are from the United States, Canada, the British Isles, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. A majority of the records contain information about persons who lived before 1930. Approximately 200 cameras are currently digitizing records in over 45 countries. Records have been filmed in over 110 countries, territories, and possessions.”
