Church Completes Major Microfilm Digitization Initiative

[@-shnae4God.family]

The hastening of God's work rolls forth!

[@codylowe613]

I remember as a small boy in the late seventies watching my grandparents doing family history work using microfilm. How slowly the process was. Now we are moving forward in the digital age. What a blessing! The work is moving forward thanks to the service of these wonderful people. Words cannot express enough, thank you so very much!

[@beyondtwominutes]

I can imagine this is nothing short of a miracle for all involved and the many souls who will benefit from the access to these records! Amazing!

[@colingrant2024]

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

What a miraculous time we live in!

[@mattstokes9624]

That...is impressive. Well done.

[@cat-zk8bv]

A gazillion years ago (over 60) my mom & others used to write things in index cards. What happened with those cards? I remember my brother writing things like "my mother doesn't have a belly button" and "my mother drinks Pepsi". I think they were supposed to help people find others researching names. I was really young.

[@Steven_Olson]

Congrats!

[@incogneato6725]

Perhaps some day I'll actually get around to scanning the pictures in my old photo albums.

[@catbriggs8362]

Would be good to mention that these images are free to everyone. You do not have to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to access and use them.

[@rexregisanimi]

I spent some time working on this project back in the early days. It's a wonderful and exciting thing!

[@memorex202]

Wonderful!

[@nammerrama1555]

Amazing!

[@RICHELECTRICIAN]

Awesome!

[@scottsoward]

Amazing what the church does, and is engaged in. Entirely altruistic, and Christ centered.

[@pdWald]

Love this, thank you!

[@liahonagirl]

50-100 years' worth of work done in 15 years??? tell me that's NOT the hand of the Lord in helping make these records available digitally? 😊 as someone who started her journey with family history work back when microfilm and microfiche were the standard, it is amazing to me that I can do research and help others from the comfort of my own computer screen!

[@NigelNoMates]

Wow exciting times

[@terryslade6240]

I'm often frustrated by modern technology, but I thank Father in Heaven for giving us amazing technology in these latter days! To think that in the time of Joseph Smith, the mode of transportation was by horse and buggy, and steam locomotives; the only lighting for homes and other buildings was lantern or candles. Once the church was organized, technology seriously increased, at a mind-boggling pace!

[@CalebBrown228]

Nice!

[@robbrownstone]

Like a stone rolling forth!

[@MegWasHere2011]

Nice video

[@ageboyqrapper5777]

Amen

[@robsin2810]

See the Lords hand in this.

[@PainoMailo]

epic

[@ManessDC]

Does this mean indexing is over?

[@liahonagirl]

no! 🙂 this just gives us more records that we can index!

[@willflo2007]

MannessDC. No, it just means the original 2.4 million rolls of microfilm are digitized only. It still needs to be indexed and reviewed. Now the church can move on with LIVE records. A big accomplishment regardless.
