Microfilm availability in SLC for regions/dates that will not be digitized

neckles

I have a trip planned to SLC in April 2022 and want to ensure that microfilm listed in the catalog will be accessible. I know these film copies will not be digitized due to contractual agreement, but need to know if anything can be done in advance to ensure film is on-site OR if there are also restrictions for viewing in SLC. The area of interest is predominantly current day SW Poland.

This is an example of one village of interest:

I am not connected with FamilySearch

All the films in the catalog link you posted indicate they are available at the Family History Library, so my understanding is that they would be available onsite.

The following link Microfilm, Fiche and CDs https://www.familysearch.org/en/family-history-library/microfilm-fiche-and-cds#microfilm-fiche mentions pre-ordering film from the Granite Mountain Record Vault. The inference I would take from this is that you don't need to pre-order other microfilms.

Nancy,

Here is a link to the SLC Family History Library that may help. You will find a phone number and email address for the Library as well as other useful information for your visit.

Hopefully your questions can be answered by communicating directly with the Library staff.

Best wishes.
