London Family History Centre

Last updated 8 January 2010

Most Family History Centres (FHCs) are located in church buildings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and are staffed by volunteers. Each FHC offers the possibility of ordering resources from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. By this means you can have access to over 2.5 million microfilms and hundreds of thousands of fiche through a loan programme between the Family History Library and FHCs.

NOTE: In case of difficulties in contacting a Family History Centre, please telephone the Family History Centre Support Office at 0121-384-2028.

Use of every FHC is available to everyone. There is no charge for use of a Family History Centre, although there are modest charges for copying or ordering loans of microfilms or fiche.

Addresses below are as of January 2010. Note: Postal codes are not listed as post is not delivered to most of the church buildings in which the Family History Centres are located. The opening hours per week are included with the details for each FHC. It is advisable to telephone in advance to verify opening hours.
