The London FamilySearch Centre will close on Saturday, 23 March 2019
Advances in technology mean that FamilySearch can now provide its free services to visitors at The National Archives more flexibly. Many records can now be accessed at home, in one of our local Family History Centres, or in a FamilySearch Affiliate Library. The National Archives has agreed to become a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, meaning that access to all digitised records on FamilySearch will continue on PCs located in the reading rooms.
Visitors will need a FREE FamilySearch account to access records and self-help guides will be available. You will notice little difference, other than that our volunteer workers will no longer be present to provide 1 to 1 assistance.
