Dear Listers, My attention has been drawn to a new policy statement on the FamilySearch.org website. The statement, dated 4 Feb 2013, is headed: "Policy Change for Patrons Requesting Photocopies From the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah". The statement continues: "All requests for information copied from films, book pages, CDs, marriage, death or birth certificates, wills and/or deeds, etc. will be copied in digital format and emailed to patrons in a zipped PDF or JPG file format. There is no charge for this service if we are able to email to information to patrons. Patrons should request copies by emailing their request to Photoduplication@familysearch.org." The statement then lists all the information that must be included in each request - see http://tinyurl.com/apde6lz for full details. There is no indication as to how long such requests take to be processed, but the LDS appears to be offering an important new free resource for family historians worldwide.
