The collection encompasses more than 420,000 bound volumes, including more than 61,000 published family histories. In addition, The Genealogy Center has more than 660,000 microfilm and microfiche items. Specific holdings vary for each geographic location, and can be explored through the Center’s online catalogs found at www.GenealogyCenter.org.
