The BYU Family History Library (FHL) is located in the Harold B. Lee Library (HBLL) on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. It is one of the Family History Centers devoted to assisting library patrons in genealogical research. It began as a small section of the BYU library in 1962, and later expanded into a branch of the Family History Library, the genealogical library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in 1964. It was formerly known as the Utah Valley Regional Family History Center. The BYU FHL houses a large collection of physical materials, such as microfilms, photographs, books, and other documents. It also offers access to digital materials, including genealogical databases and digitized newspapers. Scanners, computers, and printers are also available. The BYU FHL assists patrons online through its website, YouTube channel, and hosted webinars. It also offers classes in a variety of areas related to genealogy. History After the establishment of the J. Reuben Clark library in 1961 (later called the Harold B. Lee Library), a few family history research materials were incorporated the following year. A branch of the genealogical library of the LDS Church was then established in the library in 1964. It contained the library of the Utah county Genealogical Historical Society and a catalog of the materials in the main genealogical library in Salt Lake City. The genealogical library branch was located on the 4th floor, with specialized reference personnel. With the help of other library workers, Eve Nielsen recataloged the Genealogical Society of Utah's Utah county records over three years. In 1973, construction on an expansion of the BYU library began, and the Utah Valley Branch Genealogical Library expanded along with it. In the 1990s, the BYU Family History Library (then called the Utah Valley Regional Family History Center) offered to the public classes conducted by research consultants on various computer research tools. These included courses on DOS, IBM Personal Ancestral File, and Macintosh Personal Ancestral File. In 2000, the BYU FHL moved into the new addition of the Harold B. Lee Library. Before FamilySearch developed its own FamilySearch Indexing project, much of the scanning of genealogical materials for the FamilySearch website took place at the FHL. As of 2008, around 50 different classes were offered by the FHL, including instruction on conducting international research. Present day Today, the BYU Family History Library is located on level
