Important Notice
The Library opened on Tuesday, 7 January. However, due to the poor air quality and the limited filtering in the air-conditioning used at the Library, it may be subjected to unscheduled closures in this period of adverse conditions.
Note the ACT Health has a site which gives a current air quality measure.
Access to FamilySearch virtual films at Cook
Visitors to the Library now have access to nearly all digital collections on the FamilySearch website – if a record shows as only being viewable at a Family History Library or Affiliate Library that means you can view it at the Library. Access is immediate and you can accomplish a lot in a short time. Moreover, you do not have to pay to get the film posted from FamilySearch. Thank you FamilySearch for setting up this great service!
