The FamilySearch page says"To view these images do one of the following:
Access the site at a family history center" But they are closed at this time. Are we still able to use the paper requests to get copies of records?

    @Vianney Hartvisen_1​ 

    .

    FYI

    .

    'No' ...

    .

    SOME "Family History Centres" of the Church (or, "Affiliate" Libraries) around the World, have "Re-Opened", despite the fact that the "COVID-19" Pandemic is still with us.

    .

    Many of those "Family History Centres" of the Church (or, "Affiliate" Libraries) around the World that have "Re-Opened" operate with "Reduced", Hours of Operation; and, "Restrictions" in the number of Patrons; but, all are subject to their local jurisdictional "Health" and "Safety", LAWS and GUIDELINES, in this "COVID-19" Pandemic.

    .

    "Photoduplication" Requests ...

    .

    To be honest, I DO NOT believe that the Church (ie. 'FamilySearch) still does those "Photoduplication" Request ... or, whatever the name was ... I remember them.

    .

    Now ...

    That said ...

    .

    As the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church, in "Temple Square" in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA is still currently TEMPORALITY "Closed" (to the Public) due to the "COVID-19" Pandemic ...

    .

    And ...

    .

    IF, the "Family History Centres" of the Church (or, "Affiliate" Libraries) nearest you are still TEMPORARILY "Closed" due to the "COVID-19" Pandemic ...

    .

    THEN, can I humbly suggest that you consider trying the following ...

    .

    As such ...

    .

    You could try one of the FREE 'On-Line' Consultations through the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church in, "Temple Square", Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

    .

    Here is some links were you can access/book one of those Consultations ...

    .

    ps: And, here is a 'FamilySearch' "Blog" Article on the FREE 'On-Line' Consultations through the FHC ...
