The Family History Library (FHL) is a genealogical research facility in downtown Salt Lake City. The library is open to the public free of charge and is operated by FamilySearch, the genealogical arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). ==History== The origins of the Family History Library can be traced to the founding of the Genealogical Society of Utah in 1894. Through time the Library has changed locations within Salt Lake City as follows: * The Society's first library was located in the office of the Church Historian at 58 E. South Temple Street〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History of the Family History Library )〕 * Church Administration Building 47 E. South Temple Street (1917–1933) * 80 N. Main Street (1934–1962) * 100 S. Main Street (1962–1971) * Church Office Building 50 E. North Temple Street (1972–1985) * 35 N. West Temple Street (1985–Present) The current library building, just west of Temple Square was opened on October 23, 1985, and cost $8.2 million. In 1938 the Genealogical Society of Utah began to microfilm records which contained genealogical data from around the world, and today this microfilm makes up much of the library's collection. Today the Genealogical Society of Utah is more commonly known as FamilySearch, and is currently working on digitizing many of its microfilm collections to be shared online. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Family History Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
